    6 feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The perimeter of the front face of the prism can be obtained by adding together the lengths of the sides of the front face.

    Hence, to get the value of x, we need to add together, the values of these lengths and equate to 88.

    This means: 2x + 2x + (4x + 8) + (4x + 8) = 88

    Opening the brackets;

    4x + 4x + 8 + 4x + 8 = 88

    12x + 16 = 88

    12x = 88 - 16

    12x = 72

    x = 72/12

    x = 6 feet
