1. The perimeter of a rectangle is obtained by simply doubling the sum of its length and width. Althea owns a
rectangular garden whose length and width are (5 + 13i) meters and ( 12 – 5i) meters, respectively. Find the
perimeter of her garden.

2. According to Prof. Miranda, the distance, d, traveled by a body moving with uniform speed is found using
the formula d = vt, where v is the speed and t is the elapsed time. Calculate the distance traveled by Stanley if
he travels with a uniform speed of (50 + 3i) m/s in (4 – 3i) seconds.

3. Chemical experts at Torres and Gamboa Laboratories, Inc. are studying the properties of an unknown
substance. Dr. Peňaredondo sent (7 + 2i ) grams of this substance whose volume is (9 + 7i) milliliter to
Dr. Daro to calculate its density. What is the density of this substance if density = ?

4. Lian owns a piece of rectangular land whose area is 30 square meters. If the length exceeds the width by 7
meters, find the dimension of his land. (Hint: Area = length x width)

5. Akio knows that the formula in finding the area of a triangle is A = ℎ, where b is the base and h is the
height. If he has a triangle whose area is 24 square centimeters and whose base is 2 cm longer than the height,
find the lengths of the base and the height.
