Question 765079: I am not quite sure how to set up/solve this word problem.
Suppose that a rectangle has a perimeter of 27 meters. Express the area A(x) of the rectangle in terms of the length x of one of its sides.
Thank you for your time!:) Answer by ramkikk66(644) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x be one of the sides and y the other.
Perimeter = 2*(x + y) = 27
2*y = 27 - 2*x
Other side y =
Area A(x) =
Hope you got it now :)
