You need to do this in several steps.

1) Using the given length and width of the rectangle, find its area.
2) Then using the base and height of the triangle, find its area.
3) Since the areas are equal, set the expressions equal to each other, and solve for x.
4) Using the value of x you found, find the length and width of the rectangle and find its perimeter.

1) The area of the rectangle is A = LW
Area of Rectangle = (x + 2)x = x^2 + 2x

2) The area of the triangle is A = (1/2)bh
Area of Triangle = (1/2)(24)x = 12x

3) Set the areas equal and solve for x

x^2 + 2x = 12x

x^2 - 10x = 0

x(x - 10) = 0

x = 0 or x = 10

Since a width cannot be 0, we discard x = 0, and keep x = 10.

4) The length is x + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12
The width is x = 10

The perimeter is 2(L + W) = 2(10 + 2) = 2(22) = 44

The perimeter is 44 cm.

Esmerelda is five times as old as Ruth. Four years ago, the sum of their ages was 22 years. How old is each now?
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Ruth is  x+4=7/3+4,   esmerelda  is  5x+4=35/3+4

Step-by-step explanation:

if Ruth is x, esmerelda is 5x,

four years ago,

Ruth is x+4,  esmerelda is 5x+4,  depend on the sum, we get:

x+4+5x+4=22, x=7/3

so:

Ruth is  x+4=7/3+4,   esmerelda  is  5x+4=35/3+4
