(a)
The opposite sides of the rectangle are equal, then perimeter P is
P = 2(4p - 6) + 2(p + 13) ← distribute parenthesis and simplify
= 8p - 12 + 2p + 26
= 10p + 14
Given P = 84 , then
10p + 14 = 84 ( subtract 14 from both sides )
10p = 70 ( divide both sides by 10 )
p = 7
---------------------------------------------
(b)
The area (A) of the shaded region is calculated as
A = area of rectangle - area of triangle
area of rectangle = (4p - 6)(p + 13) ← expand using FOIL
= 4p² + 46p - 78 ← substitute p = 7
= 4(7)² + 46(7) - 78
= 4(49) + 322 - 78
= 196 + 244
= 440 cm²
area of triangle =
bh
=
( 3p - 3)( p + 13) ← substitute p = 7
=
(3(7) - 3)(7 + 13)
=
(21 - 3)(20)
=
× 18 × 20 = 9 × 20 = 180 cm²
Then
A = 440 - 180 = 260 cm²

pole B =
× 72 = 36
pole A =
× 36 = 5 × 6 = 30 m
