Rectangle Properties and Perimeter Problems

The video tutorial explains how to find the missing side of a rectangle when given one side and the perimeter. It starts by discussing the properties of rectangles, such as equal opposite sides, and sets up an equation using the given perimeter. The tutorial then demonstrates solving the equation to find the missing side, which is verified by recalculating the perimeter. The process highlights the use of basic algebra and geometry concepts to solve real-world problems.

What is the main objective of the problem discussed in the video?

• To determine the length of a missing side of a rectangle

• To measure the diagonal of a rectangle

• To find the area of a rectangle

• To calculate the volume of a cube

What is a key property of rectangles that helps in solving the problem?

• Opposite sides are equal

• All angles are 90 degrees

• Diagonals are equal

• All sides are equal

If one side of a rectangle is 6 inches, what is the length of the opposite side?

• 9 inches

• 3 inches

• 6 inches

• 12 inches

How do you set up the equation to find the missing side of the rectangle?

• 6 + 6 + x + x = 22

• 6 + 6 + x = 22

• x + x = 22

• 6 + x + x = 22

What is the sum of the known sides of the rectangle?

• 18

• 12

• 22

• 6

What is the value of x if x + x = 10?

• 5

• 4

• 2

• 10

What is the total perimeter of the rectangle?

• 22 inches

• 20 inches

• 18 inches

• 24 inches

How can you verify the solution to the problem?

• By checking if the sum of all sides equals the perimeter

• By comparing with another rectangle

• By measuring the diagonal

• By calculating the area
