Question

The width of a rectangle is 4x−9.5 feet and the length is 9.5x+10 feet. Find the perimeter of the rectangle.

The perimeter of the rectangle is ________ feet.

Answer 1

0.037 ft

Explanation:

Perimeter is the distance around a two-dimensional shape. We add the side lengths to find the perimeter of regular polygons.

P = (4x - 9.5) + (9.5x + 10) + (4x - 9.5) + (9.5x + 10) = 27x = 1

x = 1/27 = 0.037 ft

Answer 2

.037 feet

Explanation:

perimeter = the sum of all four sides so

perimeter = (4x-9.5) + (9.5x + 10) + (4x - 9.5) + (9.5x + 10) = 27x = 1

therefore x = 1/27 = .037 feet
