Problema Solution

A square and a rectangle have the same perimeter. The square has a side length of 8x units. The rectangle has a length of (10x+8) units and a width of 10 units. What will be the perimeter of either the rectangle and the square?

Answer provided by our tutors

The perimeter of the square is:

P = 4*8x

P = 32x units

The perimeter of the rectangle is:

P = 2*(10x + 8 + 10)

P = 2*(10x + 18)

P = 20x + 36
