[ (x-3) + (3x-5) + (4x+3) ] : [2(2x+2)+ 2(4x - 1/2) ] = 4 : 9
(8x-5) / (12x+3) = 4/9
take over
(8x-5) / (12x+3) = 4/9

a. Perimeter of triangle PQR = (x-3) + (3x-5) + (4x+3) = 8x-5 cm
Perimeter of rectangle ABCD = 2(2x+2) + 2(4x - 1/2) = 12x+3 cm
b. The linear equation using the given ratio of perimeters is:
(8x-5)/(12x+3) = 5/9
Cross-multiplying and simplifying, we get:
72x - 45 = 60x + 15
12x = 60
x = 5
Therefore, the value of x is 5.
c. The area of rectangle ABCD is:
Area = AB x BC
Area = (2x+2) x (4x - 1/2)
Area = 8x^2 + 3x - 1 cm^2
Substituting the value of x as 5, we get:
Area = 203 cm^2
Therefore, the area of rectangle ABCD is 203 square centimeters.
Perimeter of rectangle ABCD = 2(2x+2) + 2(4x - 1/2) = 12x+3 cm
b. The linear equation using the given ratio of perimeters is:
(8x-5)/(12x+3) = 5/9
Cross-multiplying and simplifying, we get:
72x - 45 = 60x + 15
12x = 60
x = 5
Therefore, the value of x is 5.
c. The area of rectangle ABCD is:
Area = AB x BC
Area = (2x+2) x (4x - 1/2)
Area = 8x^2 + 3x - 1 cm^2
Substituting the value of x as 5, we get:
Area = 203 cm^2
Therefore, the area of rectangle ABCD is 203 square centimeters.
