Question 772620: 1)when a certain rectangle is divided in half, two squares are formed. if each of these squares has perimeter 48, what is there perimeter of the original rectangle
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The two combined squares have perimeter based on exposed sides, 6x while the separated squares have total perimeter 8x. That uses x for the length of one side of a square.
Given 4x=48, x=12.
Original rectangle has perimeter 6x=6*12=72
