Answer:

ab=12

Explanation:

p=perimeter

ab=cd ==> they're opposite sides of the rectangle, so they're equal

bc=da ==> they're opposite sides of the rectangle, so they're equal

p=ab+bc+cd+da

p=ab+cb+dc+da

p=ab+dc+2*cb

44=3z-3+3z-3+2*2z

44=3z+3z-3-3+4z

44=6z+4z-6

44=10z-6

10z=50

z=5

ab=cd=dc=3z-3

ab=3(5)-3

ab=15-3

ab=12
