Question

The perimeter of the rectangle below is 94 units. Find the length of side PS.

Write your answer without variables.

Answer 1

PS = 26 units

Explanation:

Perimeter of rectangle = 94

2(4z - 2 + 3z) = 94

2(7z - 2) = 94

14z - 4 = 94

14z = 94 + 4

14z = 98

z = 98/14

z = 7

QR = 4z - 2 = 4*7 - 2 = 28 - 2 = 26

PS = QR (Opposite sides of rectangle)

PS = 26 units
