Question

The length of a rectangle is 5 more than the width. The perimeter is 98.

What is the length, width and area of the rectangle? Explain

Answer 1

Width=22, Length=27, Area= 594

Explanation:

Let the width if the rectangle be represented by x

If the length is 5 more than the width

Length =x+5

The perimeter is given by

2(x)+2(x+5)=98

2x+2x+10=98

4x=88

x=22

Width=22

Length=27

Area= 22*27=594
