Answer 1

i hope this helps you

Answer 2

The dimensions of the rectangle are 38.5 × 7.2

Explanation:

Let the width of a rectangle = x

The length of the rectangle = 4x + 9.7 cm

The perimeter of the rectangle = 91.4 cm

Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)

= 2{(4x + 9.7) + x } = 91.4

2(5x + 9.7) = 91.4

10x + 19.4 = 91.4

10x = 91.4 - 19.4

10x = 72

x =
`(72)/(10)`

x = 7.2

Width = 7.2

Length = (4 × 7.2) + 9.7 = 38.5

The dimensions of the rectangles are 38.5 × 7.2
