The answer is D 45.
Using the distance formula and the ordered pairs (1,8) & (4,5) for the short side and ((4,5) & (17,18) for the long side.
sqrt [(x2-x2)^2 + (y2-y1)^2]
sqrt [(4-1)^2 + (5-8)^2] = sqrt [ 9 + 9 ] = sqrt (18) (short side)
sqrt [(17-4)^2 + (18-5)^1 = sqrt [169 + 169] = sqrt (338) long side
P = 2L + 2W
P = 2sqrt18 + 2sqrt 338 = 45.25 = 45

You have to take the sum of the distance between each point. It doesn't matter what order you use just keep it consistent, the shortest distance between any 2 points in the plane is a straight line.

Answer:

 $x \leqslant - 3$ 

option C is the right option.

Solution,

$\frac{x}{3} - \frac{x - 1}{2} \geqslant 1 \\ = \frac{2x - 3( x - 1)}{6} \geqslant 1 \\ = \frac{2x - 3x + 3}{6} \times 6 \geqslant 6 \\ = 2x - 3x + 3 \geqslant 6 \\ = - x + 3 \geqslant 6 \\ = - x + 3 - 3 \geqslant 6 - 3 \\ = - x \geqslant 3 \\ = - ( - x) \leqslant - 3 \\ = x \leqslant - 3$
