Problema Solution
The perimeter of a rectangle is 5´85 metres. If a side measure the double than the other one, how long each side measure?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let first side = x
=> second side = 2x
Perimeter = 2(length + breadth) = 2(x+2x)=6x
=> 5.85 = 6x
=> x = 5.85/6 = 0.975 meters
=> first side = 0.975 m
=> Second side = 1.95 m
