Question

The length of a rectangle is 11 in. longer than its width. the perimeter of the rectangle is 86 in.write and solve an equation to determine the rectangle's length. explain each step you perform.

Answer 1

I hope this helps you


width w


length w+11



perimeter =2 (width +length )


86=2 (w+w+11)


43=2w+11


32=2w


w=16

length = w+11=16+11=27
