The perimeter is equal to 2(width) + 2(length). let's call the width w and the length L.

so 32 = 2w + 2L
the width is given as 2 meters less than the length, so w = L - 2

32 = 2(L - 2) + 2L
32 = 2L - 4 + 2L
32 = 4L - 4
36 = 4L
9 = L

so our length is 9 meters.

w = L - 2
w = 9 - 2
w = 7

so our width is 7 meters.

P is the midpoint of HR. Given HP = 7x + 2 and PR = 58; find the value of x
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since P is at the midpoint of HR, then

HP = PR ← substitute values

7x + 2 = 58 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

7x = 56 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 8
