Answer:
Rectangles! Nice.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a very simple problem. Let’s first represent the width of the rectangle as the variable x.
Then, we know that the length of the triangle is x+2. See where I’m going with this?
The formula for the perimeter of an rectangle is .
All we have to do next is just input our values for the length and width, and you’ll be golden!
Next to subtract 4 from both sides and then to divide by 4!
There’s your answer! Don’t know why Brainly is bugged right now.
NOTE: If you can’t read the answer above, the width is 13cm. This also means that the length is 15cm.
Hope this helps!
Stay safe!
