Problema Solution

One side of a rectangle is 9 inches and the other side is X inches. What values of X will make the perimeterat least 46?

Answer provided by our tutors

9 + 9 + X + X = 46

18 + 2x = 46

18 - 18 + 2x = 46 - 18

2x = 28

2x/2 = 28/2

x = 14

The other side of the rectangle is 14

 

So sides are 9, 14, 9 , 14
