38.9 is the answer. because it is rounded to the nearest tenth.
You need two terms that multiply to (12x-4). The term on the outside needs to be a common multiple of 12 and 4. The common factors are 1, 2, and 4. Here are the following possible dimensions:
1(12x-4)
2(6x-2)
4(3x-1)
Hope this helps.
You have to simplify like this
(-5)(-8)=40
2+a / 2 = 4 and b+6 /2 = 10
2+a=8. and. b+6 = 20
a=6. and. b=14
(a,b) , the other endpoint, is thus (6,14)
