Question

the length of a rectangle is 3in longer than its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 66in, find its length and width

Answer 1

Length = 18inch

Width = 15inch

Explanation:

(Process/Explanation Below)

⇒ 66 ÷ 2 = 33 (We divide by 2 because we need to find two measurements which are our length and width)

⇒ 33 - 3 = 30 (Since the width is 3inches smaller than the length we have to subtract by 3.)

⇒ 30 ÷ 2 = 15in width (This is our width because since a rectange has 2 sides we have to divide by 2.)

⇒ 5 + 3 = 18in length (This is our length because it says the length is 3inches longer than the width and the width is 15inches.)

Answer 2

Answer: Length= 18in Width= 15in

Explanation: 66/2=33
33-3=30
30/2= 15 width
15+3= 18 length
