solve for "a", once you get "a", plug it back into either equation to get "b"
Bring y to one side and the rest to the other switching the positives to negative then you’ll get Y=114
Answer:
88 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The side of the square = 6 cm, so the shorter side of each rectangle = 6 cms.
The area of each rectangle = 36 * 1 1/3
= 36 * 4/3 = 48 cm^2
So the longer side of each rectangle = 48 / 6 = 8 cms
Therefore, the perimeter of the whole figure
= 4( shorter sides ) + 8(longer sides)
= 4*6 + 8*8
= 24 + 64
= 88 cm (answer)
