Answer:
Question #1
- x and its opposing side are equal in length.
- One of the sides have no fence.
Set up an equation to find x:
[tex]x+x+10=26\\2x=26-10\\2x=16\\x=8[/tex]
The length of the side marked x is 8.0 m.
Question #2
- New length = 10 + 1 = 11 cm
- New width = x
- New perimeter = old perimeter = 34 cm
Set up an equation to find x
[tex]11+11+x+x=34\\2x=34-22\\2x=12\\x=6[/tex]
The new width is 6 cm.
