Answer:
An equation for this would be : 36=3+x+3+X+5+5
the simplified version would be: 20=2x
The value of x = 10 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Since perimeter is all the sides added together, and 36 ft is the perimeter,
think of a rectangle, 2 sides would be 3+x and the other 2 would be 5.
thus,
36=3+x+3+x+5+5
now add all like terms and you get 36=16+2x
subtracting 16 on both sides,
20=2x
dividing by 2 both sides,
x=10 feet.
