Hi there!

The general formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is :

P = (Length × 2) + (Width × 2)

Let's say the width of the rectangle is "x".

The lenght of the rectangle is equal to 2x + 4.2


Replace everything you know in the formula :

42.6 = ((2x + 4.2) × 2) + ((x) × 2)


Simplify everything :

2x × 2 = 4x

4.2 × 2 = 8.4

x × 2 = 2x


42.6 = 4x + 8.4 + 2x

42.6 = 6x + 8.4


Isolate "x":

42.6 = 6x + 8.4

Subtract 8.4 from each side of the equation

34.2 = 6x

Divide each side of the equation by 6

5.7 = x

5.7cm = the width of the rectangle


Since the lenght of the rectangle is equal to 2 times the width of the rectangle plus 4.2 :

Length = (2 × 5.7) + 4.2

Length = 15.6cm


42.6 = (2 × 15.6) + (2 × 5.7) ? → YES


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

Find the volume of a cone when given height and circumference.
lord [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

V = π ∙ r2 ∙ h / 3, where π ∙ r2 is the base area of the cone. π defines the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter and is approximately equal to 3.141593, however the value 3.14 is often used. Example 1: Find the volume of cone, whose radius is 8 cm and height is 5 cm.
