Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula $2l + 2w$, where $l$ and $w$ are the length and width of the rectangle, respectively. Substituting the given values, we get $2(5) + 2x \leq 36$. Simplifying, $10 + 2x \leq 36$, then $2x \leq 26$, and finally $x \leq 13$. Since $x$ represents the length of a side, it must be greater than 0, hence $0 < x \leq 13$.
