1st rectangle:
width: 2.48cm
length: 4.96
2nd rectangle:
width: 4.96 (equals to the length of the 1st rectangle)
area: 9.92
length: 9.92/4.96 = 2
Answer:
.0873
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's make the width 'x'.
And the length 'x+4'.
Perimeter is adding up ALL the sides.
Add: x + x + 4 + x + x + 4.
Simplify:
x + x + 4 + x + x + 4 = 4x + 8
