Calculate the perimeter of the rectangle given that .
To find the perimeter of the rectangle, we will follow these steps:
Step 1: The problem gives us the side length on one side of the rectangle is , and possibly the other sides relate to it symmetrically as the figure is not entirely clear but consistent with such interpretation.
Step 2: Use the perimeter formula . Assuming typical formulas match dimensions symmetrically, such as both dimensions are expressed by and potentially in a or related expression.
Step 3: Substituting gives and by known relations directly, or a dimension adjustment makes the perimeter calculated consistently.
Step 4: The perimeter:
.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
Look at the rectangle ABCD below.
Side AB is 6 cm long and side BC is 4 cm long.
What is the area of the rectangle?
Look for labels or expressions near each side of the rectangle. The diagram shows 'x' and 'x²' as dimensions. Use these algebraic expressions with the given value.
Replace every x with the number 5: . For , you get .
The formula is P = 2l + 2w or P = 2(l + w), where l is length and w is width. Both formulas give the same result!
When x = 5, one dimension becomes 5 and the other becomes 25 (from x²). The perimeter is . Answer 40 comes from incorrectly calculating the dimensions.
No! For perimeter calculations, it doesn't matter which dimension you call length or width. Just add both dimensions and multiply by 2.
