Question

The perimeter of the rectangle below is 114 units. Find the length of side PQ.

Answer 1

Answer:

PQ=36

Step-by-step explanation:

o=114

PQ I named a because it was easier for me and SP I named b.

o=2(a+b)

114=2(3x+3+2x-1)

114=6x+6+4x-2

114=10x+4

10x=114-4

10x=110/:10

x=11

a=3*11+3

a=33+3

a=36

Answer 2

Answer:

36.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter = 2 * length + 2 * width, so we have:

2(2x - 1) + 2(3x + 3) = 114

4x + 6x - 2 + 6 = 114

10x = 114+ 2 - 6 = 110

x = 11.

So the length = 3(11) + 3

= 36.
