Answer:

24 cm, 21 cm

Explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle be x cm

So, length = x + 3 cm

Perimeter of rectangle = 90

2(x + 3 + x) = 90

(2x +3) = 90/2

2x + 3 = 45

2x = 45 - 3

2x = 42

x = 42/2

x = 21 cm

x + 3 = 21 + 3 = 24 cm

Length = 24 cm

Width = 21 cm

Hence, dimensions of the rectangle are 24 cm and 21 cm.
