Answer:
Perimeter of ABCD - Perimeter of PQRS = 4x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
i. For rectangle ABCD;
length, l = 2x -3
width, w = 4x + 5
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w)
Perimeter of ABCD = 2((2x -3) + (4x + 5))
= 2(2x -3 + 4x + 5)
= 2(6x + 2)
Perimeter of ABCD = 12x + 4
ii. For rectangle PQRS;
length, l = x - 1
width, w = 3x + 2
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w)
Perimeter of PQRS = 2((x - 1) + (3x + 2))
= 2(x - 1 + 3x + 2)
= 2(4x + 1)
Perimeter of PQRS = 8x + 2
So that,
Perimeter of ABCD - Perimeter of PQRS = (12x + 4) - (8x + 2)
= 12x + 4 - 8x - 2
= 4x + 2
Perimeter of ABCD - Perimeter of PQRS = 4x + 2
Remark
The upper answer is correct. Any time you are dealing with addition or subtraction and one of the numbers is irreducible and remains irrational no matter what you do, then the entire addition or subtraction of terms remains irrational.
For the second one that you did not answer, it works the same way as the comment says.
3√2 * 8√18 give two numbers that can be multiplied under the square root sign.
3*8 = 24
√(2*18) = √(36) = 6
The answer is 24*6 = 144
This procedure is the only way I know that you can get a rational result from two irrational factors. In fact it is really quite useful to know. You will use this when you learn how to rationalize the denominator. This exact method is used to do that.
X² - 3x - 2 = 0
x = -(-3) ± √((-3)² - 4(1)(-2))
2(1)
x = 3 ± √(9 + 8)

x = 3 ± √(17)

4x² + 3x + 5
b² - 4ac
(3)² + 4(4)(5)
9 + 4(20)
9 + 80

Answer:
7,680
Step-by-step explanation:
6 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 5 x 12 = 23040
23040/3 = 7,680
