Answer:
Length of each side=3 inches
Length of the top side =6 inches
Length of button sides = 2 inches
Explanation:
Let x be the length and right side.
The bottom is 2x inches long.
The top is x-1 inches long.
The perimeter is 14 inches.
Therefore,
Perimeter= sum of all sides
left side length+right side length+top side length+bottom side length=14 in
x + x + x-1+2x = 1
Solving like terms:
5x-1 = 14
adding 1 on both sides
5x-1+1= 14+1
5x=15
dividing both sides by 5
5x/5=15/5
x = 3
The length of each side is 3 inches.
The length of the bottom is 2*3 = 6 inches.
The length of the top is 3-1 = 2 inches.
Therefore, the length of each side, the top, and the bottom are 3 inches, 6 inches, and 2 inches respectively.
