Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length of rectangle(l) = (x+3) cm and a width of rectangle (w) = \frac{1}{2} x cm a

Also, perimeter of rectangle is 24 cm.

Perimeter of rectangle is to add the lengths of all the four sides.

Perimeter of rectangle (P) is given by;

P=2(l+w)

Substituting the value of P = 24 cm , l = (x+3) cm and w =\frac{1}{2} x

then,  

24 = 2 (x+3+\frac{1}{2} x)

Divide by 2 both sides of an equation;

12 = x+3+\frac{1}{2}x

Combine like terms;

12 =\frac{3x}{2} +3

Subtract 3 from both the sides we get;

12-3 = \frac{3x}{2} +3-3

Simplify:

9 =\frac{3x}{2}

Multiply both sides by \frac{2}{3} we get

x = 9 \times \frac{2}{3} = 3 \times 2 = 6

Therefore, length of rectangle(l) = (x+3) = 6+3 = 9 cm
