The working equation to find the perimeter of the rectangle is:


P=2L+2W

where L is the length of the rectangle and W is the width of the rectangle. Given the two sides of the rectangle and its parameter, we can rewrite the equation as:


166=2(4x)+2(5x+2)

Simplifying the equation and solve for x, we have:


\begin{gathered} 8x+10x+4=166 \\ 18x=166-4 \\ (18x)/(18)=(162)/(18) \\ x=9 \end{gathered}

For the side of AB that is the same as side AD, the measurement would be:


AB=5(9)+2=47

Answer: AB = 47
