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.

garik1379 [7]

Answer:11

Step-by-step explanation:  Bases of trapezoid : 11 meters and 14 meters

height of trapezoid : 10 meters

Area of trapezoid = (sum of bases / 2) height

A = (11m + 14m)/2  * 10m

A = 25m / 2 * 10m

A = 12.5m * 10m

A = 125m²
