The shorter side of a rectangle is s + 1 cm. The longer side is twice the length of the shorter side. The perimeter of the rectangle is 36 cm.Calculate s.

To find the value of 's', we need to set up an equation using the information given in the problem.

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by the formula: 2*(length + width).

According to the problem, the shorter side of the rectangle (width) is 's + 1' cm and the longer side (length) is twice the length of the shorter side, which is '2*(s + 1)' cm.

So, the equation for the perimeter of the rectangle is:

2*(s + 1 + 2*(s + 1)) = 36

Solving this equation will give us the value of 's'.

First, simplify the equation:

2*(s + 1 + 2s + 2) = 36 2*(3s + 3) = 36 6s + 6 = 36

Then, subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:

6s = 30

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for 's':

s = 30 / 6 s = 5

So, the value of 's' is 5.
