Step-by-step solution

4 steps

This problem describes a square because both given dimensions are the same.

  1. Set up the perimeter equation

    The perimeter of a square is P=4sP = 4s, where ss is the side length.
    Given s=(3x+5)s = (3x+5) and P=142 cmP = 142\ \text{cm}.

    4(3x+5)=1424(3x+5) = 142
  2. Solve for x

    12x+20=14212x + 20 = 142 12x=142−2012x = 142 - 20 12x=12212x = 122 x=12212x = \frac{122}{12} x=616x = \frac{61}{6}
  3. Calculate the side length

    Substitute the value of xx back into the side length expression s=3x+5s = 3x+5.

    s=3(616)+5s = 3\left(\frac{61}{6}\right) + 5 s=612+5s = \frac{61}{2} + 5 s=30.5+5s = 30.5 + 5 s=35.5 cms = 35.5\ \text{cm}
  4. Calculate the area

    The area of a square is A=s2A = s^2.

    A=(35.5)2A = (35.5)^2 A=1260.25 cm2A = 1260.25\ \text{cm}^2

    The area of the square is 1260.25 cm21260.25\ \text{cm}^2.
