<PRE><B>Question 173810</B>
Find the perimeter and the area of the figure 
L = 3/(x+4)
w = 2/(x-5)
-----------------
Perimeter = 2(L+W)
= 2(3/(x+4) + 2/(x-5))

= 6/(x+4) + 4/(x-5)

= [6(x-5) + 4(x+4)]/[(x-5)(x+4)]

= [10x-14]/[x^2-x-20]
=============================
Area = LW = [3/(x+4)]*[2/(x-5)] = 6/[x^2-x-20]

=============================
Cheers,
