Algebra.Com's Answer #445161 by ohtheirony(35)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The two opposite sides in a rectangle are congruent. So , there will be two congruent widths and two congruent lengths. x=side length \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "length=2x \n" ); document.write( "width=x+2 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "(x+2)+(x+2)+(2x)+(2x)=94 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "6x+4=94 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "6x=60 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "x=10 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Take x and put it back in your original equations for length and width \n" ); document.write( "length= 2(10) =20 in \n" ); document.write( "width= 2+10 =12 in \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "20+20+12+12=94 inches \n" ); document.write( " |
