Let x = one leg. the base is then 3x-17. the perimeter I'd given by x+x+3x-17=33

5x-17=33
5x=50
x=10
2 legs are 10 each and base is 13

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

10x - 8 or 2( 5x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2( Length + Width)

<u>Rectangle A </u>

Length = x + 8,

Width = x - 1

$Perimeter_A = 2((x + 8) + ( x - 1))\\\\$

$= 2(x + 8 + x - 1) \\\\= 2(2x + 7)\\\\=4x + 14$

<u>Rectangle B</u>

Length = 4x + 5

Width = 3x - 2

$Perimeter _B= 2((4x + 5) + (3x-2))\\\\$

$=2(4x + 5 + 3x - 2)\\\\=2(7x + 3)\\\\=14x + 6$

$Perimeter_B - Perimeter_A = (14x +6)-(4x + 14) \\\\$

$=14x + 6 - 4x - 14\\\\=10x -8\\\\or \\\\=2(5x - 4)$
