What is the perimeter of a rectangle, one side of which is equal to x centimeters and the other 20 m more, 3 cm less?

1) According to the condition of the problem, one side is equal to x cm, and the other is 2 cm larger, that is, x + 2.

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its two sides:

P = 2 (x + x + 2) = 2 (2 x + 2) = 4 x + 4 (cm).

Answer: the perimeter of the rectangle is 4 x + 4 cm.

2) According to the condition of the problem, one side is equal to x cm, and the other is 3 cm less, that is, x – 3.

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its two sides:

P = 2 (x + x – 3) = 2 (2 x – 3) = 4 x – 6 (cm).

Answer: the perimeter of the rectangle is 4 x – 6 cm.
