Question

What is the answer to this question?

Answer 1

95 cm^2

Explanation:

perimeter(p)=39cm

L=3x-1

B=2x+3

Now,

p=2(l+b)

39=2(3x-1+2x+3)

39=6x-2+4x+6

39=10x+4

39-4=10x

x=35/10

x=3.5

Putting the value of x

L=3x-1; =3×3.5-1; =10.5-1; =9.5cm

B =2x+3; =2×3.5+3; =7+3; =10cm

Again,

A= L×B

=9.5×10

=95cm^2
