Answer:
(B) 18 cm x 8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
let the length be x,
then the width is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]x + 2
2( [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]x + 2 + x ) = 52
[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]x + 2 + x = 26
[tex]\frac{4}{3} x[/tex] = 24
x = (24*3)/4
x = 18
then the length is 18 cm
and width is (1/3)*18 + 2 = 8
Therefore the dimensions are length:width = 18 cm : 8 cm
Answer:
(B) 18cm x 8cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 52 cm
2(length + width) = 52 ==> l + w = 26
Let x be the length
width = (x/3) + 2
x + (x/3) + 2 = 26
[(3x + x)/3] + 2 = 26
4x / 3 = 24
4x = 24 (3)
x = 6(3) ==> 18 cm
Width = (18/3) + 2
= 6 + 2 = 8 cm
So, the required dimension is 18 cm x 8 cm.
