- The two areas are the same.
- To find the area, we multiply the side lengths. Y=area
Rectangle 1: side lengths 4 and (x+1)
y=4(x+1)= 4x+4
Rectangle 2: side lengths 3 and (2x-2)
y=3(2x-2)= 6x-6
- Since the two areas are same, we can conclude that
4x+4=6x-6
- Now, simplify.
-2x=-10, x=5
- Since x is 5, we can plug it into the equations to find y.
Option 1 with rectangle 1: y=4(5)+4, y=24
Option 2 with rectangle 2: y=6(5)-5, y=24
I graphed the linear equation on desmos.
The Original length of each side of square was 14.25 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a square is given by:
Perimeter = 4 * side
Let x be the original length of each side of square
So
decreasing 2 inch will mean
Perimeter of square after reducing 2 inches from each side
So,
The Original length of each side of square was 14.25 inches.
