The rectangle has such edges: a, b, a, b where
So the edges go like this: a, 2a + 2, a, 2a + 2
Their sum is which is the same as the perimeter:
Thus and , and
One edge is 8cm, the other one is 18cm.
(Sorry, I misread the problem. Do I understand it correctly now - the rectangle's height is 2cm more than twice its width; that is rectangle's height is two times its width plus 2cm?)
The rectangle has such edges: a, b, a, b where
