Question

A rectangle has a perimeter of 44 cm. If the length is 4 more than the width, find the

measure of the length and width.

Answer 1

9cm

Explanation:

perimeter=2(l+b)

let width be x than length be x+4

44=2(x+4+x)

44=2(2x+4)

44/2=(2x+4)

22=2x+4

22-4=2x

18=2x

18/2=x

9=x

so,the width is 9 and length is x+4=9+4=13
