Step-by-step explanation:
let width = w
if width = w, then length = w + 4
Therefore the perimeter is 2w + 2(w+4)
2w + 2(w+4) = 4w + 8
perimeter = 60cm
4w + 8 = 60
<em>-8</em>
4w = 52
<em>divide each side by 4</em>
w = 13
length = w+4
therefore, length = 17
Answer:1.41666666667 or to simplify, 1.416 but the 6 is repeating so draw a bar over the 6.

Answer:
Measure of CD = 17 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a polygon = Sum of measures of all sides of the polygon
Perimeter of the given rectangle = 2(length + width)
= 2[(x + 3) + (2x - 1)]
= 2(3x + 2) units
Perimeter of triangle EFG = EF + FG + GE
= (x - 7) + (4x - 8) + (3x + 1)
= (8x - 14)
= 2(4x - 7) units
Since, perimeters of both the figures are equal,
2(3x + 2) = 2(4x - 7)
3x + 2 = 4x - 7
4x - 3x = 7 + 2
x = 9
Measure of CD = (2x - 1)
= 2(9) - 1
= 17 units
