We have that
If you draw a diagram, and draw perpendiculars from the intersection to the sides of the rectangle, you will see they are the mid point of each side.
see the attached figure
<span>If the mid point of the smaller side is ---------> x.
The mid point of the larger side will be -----------> (x + 4) </span>
The full length if the smaller side will be 2x and the length of the larger side will be 2(x + 4) = 2x + 8
The perimeter = 2 times the length + 2 times the width.
2(2x + 8) + 4x = 56
4x + 16 + 4x = 56
8x = 40
x = 5
Therefore
length = 2x + 8 = 18cm
<span>width = 2x = 10cm
</span>
the answer is
<span>the lengths of the sides of the rectangle are
</span>
length = 18cm width = 10cm
-8=-(x+4)
remember the invisible 1
-8=-1(x+4)
distribute using distributeiv porpety
a(b+c)=ab+ac
-1(x+4)=-x-4
-8=-x-4
add 4 to both sides
-4=-x
mutily both sides by -1
4=x

hi
Step-by-step explanation:
probably it must be like this,
