Question

The perimeter of the rectangle below is 65 inches.

Answer 1

Answer:

A :-) Given -

perimeter = 65 inches

Side ‘a’ = 2x

Side ‘b’ = 3 1 by 4x + 1

Solution -

Perimeter = 65

= a + b = 65

= 2x + 3 1 by 4x + 1 = 65

( 3 1 by 4 = 4 x 3 + 1 = 12 + 1 by 4

= 13 by 4 )

= 2x + 13 by 4x + 1 = 65

= 2x + 13 by 4x = 65 - 1

= 2x + 13 by 4x = 64

= 15 by 4 x = 64

= x = 64 x 4 by 15

= x = 256 by 15

= x = 17.06

.:. The value of x = 17.06.
