Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Calculate the perimeter of rectangle ABCD
00:03 Opposite sides are equal in a rectangle
00:12 The whole side equals the sum of its parts
00:17 Let's substitute appropriate values and solve for AB
00:23 We don't have enough data to know
00:26 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

Based on the given data, we know that:

AD=BC=5 AD=BC=5

AB=AE+EB AB=AE+EB

AB=7+EB AB=7+EB

We are missing data to determine the length of AB, and therefore we cannot calculate the perimeter of the rectangle

Answer

It is not possible to know
