1. To find the length of the edge, you will divide the total distance of 36 cm between the 4 edges that are shown.
36/4 = 9 cm per edge.
2. To find the surface area, find the area of one square (9 cm x 9 cm = 81 square cm), and multiply it by 6.
81 square cm x 6 = 486 square cm
486 square cm is the surface area.
Multiply all of those and minus and do what is said and of not serch for links ok
Let the width be x.
Length is 8 feet more than width. Length = x + 8
Area = x(x + 8)
width increased by 4, that is, (x + 4)
Length decreased by 5, (x + 8 - 5) = (x + 3)
Area = (x + 4)(x +3)
Area remains the same
x(x + 8) = (x+4)(x +3)
x² + 8x = x(x +3) + 4(x +3)
x² + 8x = x² +3x + 4x +12
x² + 8x = x² +7x +12 Eliminate x² from both sides
8x = 7x + 12
8x - 7x = 12
x = 12
Dimensions of original rectangle : x, x + 8
12, 12 +8 = 12, 20
Original rectangle is 20 feet by 12 feet
