The perimeter of the rectangle below is 65 inches. a. What is the value of x?

b. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?

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.
