Answer:
Area of the rectangle = 95 cm²
Explanation:
Perimeter of the rectangle = Sum of the measures of the sides of the rectangle
From the figure attached,
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2[(3x -1) + (2x + 3)]
39 = 2(5x + 2)
39 = 10x + 4
10x = 39 - 4
10x = 35
x = 3.5
Therefore, measure of the given sides will be,
Length = (3x - 1) cm
3x - 1 = (3×3.5) - 1
= 10.5 - 1
= 9.5 cm
Width = (2x + 3) cm
2x + 3 = (2×3.5) + 3
= 7 + 3
= 10 cm
Area of the rectangle = Length × width
= 9.5 × 10
= 95 cm²
Therefore, area of the rectangle is 95 cm².
