Formula for perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + W)
let the number be x
width = 2x + 8
length = 3(2x + 8)
substitute respectively
96 = 2 (2x + 8 + 3(2x + 8)) open the bracket
96 = 2 ( 2x + 8 + 6x + 24) collect like terms
96 = 2 (8x + 32) open the bracket
96 = 16x + 64
collect like terms
96 - 64 = 16x
32 = 16x
divide both sides by 16
32/16 = 16x/16
2 = x
therefore, the width = 2x + 8 = 2(2) + 8 = 4 + 8 = 12.
and the length = 3(2x + 8) = 6x + 24 = 6(2) + 24 = 12 + 24 = 36.

The altitude of an equilateral triangle is 22 inches. Find the perimeter of the equilateral triangle. Leave answer as a simplifi
torisob [31]

The perimeter of the equilateral triangle will be 76.2 in

<u>Explanation:</u>

Altitude of an equilateral triangle, H = 22 in

Perimeter, p = ?

Let a be the side of the triangle

We know:

H = \frac{a\sqrt{3} }{2} \\\\22 = \frac{a\sqrt{3} }{2} \\\\a = 25.4 in

Perimeter = 3a

P = 3 X 25.4 in

P = 76.2 in
