Hello!
When finding the perimeter of a rectangle, you have to consider the properties of a rectangle. A rectangle has two pairs of equal sides where one is the width, while the other one is the length.
Now looking back at your question, it says "... a rectangle that is x units wide" ⇒ you let the width = x ; this is the same with "y units long" ⇒ length = y. Perimeter can just be : P = 24.
Therefore,
The equation would be:
x + x + y + y = P.
2x + 2y = P.
(Sub in P = 24)
∴ 2x + 2y = 24. (This should be your answer.)
:) Good luck (Message me if you have any problem)
Answer:
Length = 27 metres
Width = 9 metres
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the width to be x.
Then the length will be 3x.
The perimeter is 66m when the width is increased by 1m and the length is decreased by 4m.
So the dimensions will become:
Length=3x-4
Width=x+1
Now solve for the variable x using the formula for perimeter of a rectangle:
P = 2(l+b)
66 = 2(3x-4+x+1) (Divide both sides by 2 and simplify the parentheses)
33 = 4x-3 (Add 3 to both sides)
36 = 4x (Divide both sides by 4)
x = 9
Now plug-in the value of x into the original dimensions which were:
Length=3x
Width=x
So the dimensions are:
Length = 27 metres
Width = 9 metres
The answer should be 42 times.
