Question

what is the perimeter of this block?
=
what is the area of this block?
=

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the perimeter

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is \(P = 2\times(\text{length}+\text{width})\). Here, length \(l=2x - 5\) yd and width \(w = 3\) yd.

$$

Step2: Calculate the area

The formula for the area of a rectangle is \(A=\text{length}\times\text{width}\).

$$
LATEXBLOCK1
$$

Answer:

Perimeter: \(4x - 4\) yd; Area: \(6x - 15\) yd²
