(X + 2) meters on each side of the square
(3x + 2) meters horizontally on the rectangle
(X - 1) meters vertically on the rectangular Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):

(X + 2) meters on each side of the square
Perimeter of square = 4(x+2) = 4x+8
-----------------------------
(3x + 2) meters horizontally on the rectangle
(X - 1) meters vertically on the rectangular
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(3x+2 + x-1) = 2(4x+1) = 8x+2
---------
Equation:
4x+8 = 8x+2
4x = 6
x = 3/2 meter
-----------------
Ans: 4x+8 = 4(3/2)+8 = 6+8 = 14 meters
-------------
