The perimeter of the rectangle is 54cm, the base is 5cm more than the height. Find the larger side of the rectangle.

The perimeter P of the rectangle is 54 centimeters.
One side of the figure is 5 centimeters larger than the other side.
Let one side of this figure be x centimeters.
Then the second side of the quadrangle will be (x + 5) centimeters.
Let’s make the equation:
x + x + x + 5 + x + 5 = 54;
4x + 10 = 54;
4x = 54 – 10;
4x = 44;
x = 44: 4;
x = 11.
One side is 11 centimeters.
Find the length of the second side:
11 + 5 = 16 cm.
Answer: The large side of the rectangle is 16 centimeters.
