The perimeter of the original rectangle on the left is 30 meters. the perimeter of the reduced rectangle on the right is 24 meters. what is x, the width of the original rectangle on the left? round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

Step-by-step explanation

5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

If the perimeter of the rectangle on the right is 24 m, and the length is 8, the width has to be 4, since 8+4+8+4=24. Since the scale factor is 24÷30=0.8 or 4/5, and the width of the rectangle on the right is 4, 4÷0.8=5, which is the width of the rectangle on the left.

Hope this helps! (P.S. I got it right on Edgenutiy, spelled wrong on purpose).
