Answer:
Measure of CD = 17 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a polygon = Sum of measures of all sides of the polygon
Perimeter of the given rectangle = 2(length + width)
= 2[(x + 3) + (2x - 1)]
= 2(3x + 2) units
Perimeter of triangle EFG = EF + FG + GE
= (x - 7) + (4x - 8) + (3x + 1)
= (8x - 14)
= 2(4x - 7) units
Since, perimeters of both the figures are equal,
2(3x + 2) = 2(4x - 7)
3x + 2 = 4x - 7
4x - 3x = 7 + 2
x = 9
Measure of CD = (2x - 1)
= 2(9) - 1
= 17 units
