The perimeter of the rectangle shown is `26x`cm. The dimensions of the rectangle are given below. What is the value of `x`?

Question

One side is 20.5 while the other is 4.8x

Answer 1

20.5 + 4.8x = 26x/2 = 13x

13x -4.8x = 20.5

8.2x = 20.5

x = 20.5/8.2

x= 2.5

20.5 + 4.8(2.5)

= 20.5+12 = 32.5

Perimeter = 2(32.5) =65

=26x =26(2.50)= 65
