The length of each side of a square is 1 centimeter more than the width of the rectangle. the length of the rectangle is 1 centimeter less than twice it’s width. the perimeters of the two figures are equal. determine the measures of the side lengths of the rectangle. show all work i have a test tomorrow

Let the side of square be s and the length and breadth or width of the rectangle be l and b respectively. (Also, keep in mind that when I am using the * symbol, it stands for multiplication)

s = b + 1

l = 2b - 1

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b) = 2(2b-1+b) = 2(3b-1) = 6b - 2

Perimeter of square = 4(b+1) = 4b + 4

6b - 2 = 4b + 4

6b - 4b = 4 + 2

2b = 6

b = 6/2 = 3 cm

l = (3*2) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5 cm

Hope I helped! If so, please feel free to rate my answer and consider giving it the Brainliest.

if two people answer it will show mark as brainliest then you just click the one you want to mark. ill take a screenshot of it when i can top show you.   : ]
