The numerical value of z in the expressions for the side lengths of the rectangle is 6.

The figure in the image is a rectangle.

It is simply quadrilateral having equal and parallel opposite sides.

The perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as:

Perimeter = 2( length + width )

From the figure:

Length = 4z + 3

Width = 3z + 1

Perimeter = 92 units

Plug the given values into the above formula and solve for z:

Perimeter = 2( length + width )

92 = 2( (4z + 3) + (3z + 1) )

92 = 2( 4z + 3 + 3z + 1 )

92 = 2( 7z + 3 + 1 )

92 = 2( 7z + 4 )

92 = 14z + 8

14z = 92 - 8

14z = 84

z = 84/14

z = 6

Therefore, the value of z is 6.
