Answer:
Given that:
Length (l) = 13 cm
Width (w) = 8 cm
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + w) units
P = 2(13 + 8)
P = 2 (21)
P = 42
Thus, the perimeter of the rectangle is 42 cm.
Example 2: If a rectangle's length is 2x + 1 and its width is 2x – 1. If its area is 15 cm2, what are the rectangle's dimensions and what is its perimeter?
Solution:
We know that the dimensions of the rectangle in terms of x:
l = 2x + 1
w = 2x – 1
Since the area of a rectangle is given by:
A = l * w
