Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the perimeter of the rectangle is 80, we can set up the perimeter formula:

80=2L+2W=2(3x+3)+2(2x+2)=6x+6+4x+4=10x+10

10x=70

x=7

AB=2x+2=2(7)+2=14+2=16

Answer:

AB= 16

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+2+3x+3=40

Add like terms: 2x+3x= 5x and 2+3=5

New equation: 5x+5=40

Solve: 40-5= 35

  • 35 divided by 5= 7

Now we know that x is equal to 7.

2(7)+2= 16

Side DC equals 16.

Side AB has the same length as side DC since it's a rectangle.

Side AB equals 16.

Let's check: 16+16=32 (side DC and side AB)

  • 80-32=48
  • 3(7)+3= 24

24 must be the length of the other sides.

  • 24+24= 48

So, when you add all the sides together...

16+16+24+24= 80

You get 80, the perimeter!

I hope this helped!
