The value of x is 3. The correct option is the third option- 3
The width of the backyard is 9 yards. The correct option is the first option- 9 yards
From the question, we are to determine the value of x
13.
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (l + w)
Where l is the length
and w is the width
From the given information,
Perimeter = 24 cm
In the given diagram,
l = 3x cm
w = 3 cm
Thus,
24 = 2(3x + 3)
24 = 6x + 6
6x = 24 - 6
6x = 18
x = 18/6
x = 3
Hence, the value of x is 3. The correct option is the third option- 3
14.
From the given information,
The width of the yard is 3 less than 4 times the length
That is,
w = 4l - 3 --------- (1)
Also,
Perimeter = 24 yards
∴ 24 = 2(l + w) ---------- (2)
Put equation (1) into (2)
24 = 2(l + w)
24 = 2(l + 4l - 3)
24 = 2(5l - 3)
24 = 10l - 6
10l = 24 + 6
10l = 30
l = 30/10
l = 3 yards
Substitute the value of l into equation (1) to get w
w = 4l - 3
w = 4(3) - 3
w = 12 - 3
w = 9 yards
Hence, the width of the backyard is 9 yards. The correct option is the first option- 9 yards
