The length of a rectangle is represented by (3x - 2) and the width is represented by (5x + 1). If the perimeter of the rectangle is 284 centimeters,
which equation could be used to determine the length and width of the
rectangle?
A 2(3x - 2) + 2(5x + 1) = 284
B 4(3x - 2) = 284
C (3x-2) + (5x + 1)=284
D 4(5x + 1) = 284

arithmetic sequence: a sequnce in which the diffrence between any two consecutive terms is the same

step-by-step explanation:

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2

y/x=18
