The rule for secants tells you
EC·ED = EB·EA
(x+4)(x+5) = (x+1)(x+12)
9x+20 = 13x+12 . . . . . . simplify, subtract x²
8 = 4x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add -12-9x
2 = x
The value of x is 2.
The correct answer to your question is -2

Answer:
Perimeter of the rectangle = 8 x +4
Length of the rectangle = 12 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the rectangle as 'x' units.
So, length of the rectangle is 2 more than 3 x.
We can set up expression for length as 3 x+2.
Now, perimeter is sum of all side lengths of the rectangle.
So, perimeter = x+x+3 x+2 +3 x+2
Combine like terms,
Perimeter = 8 x+4
Now, it is given perimeter is 36cm
So,
8 x+4=36
Subtract both sides 4
8 x=32
Divide both sides by 8
x=4
So, width of the rectangle =4
Length =3(4) +2=14
