Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 28 m. The length is 2 m more than two times the width.

Find the length and the width of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer: Width: 4m Length:10m

Step-by-step explanation: 2 ⋅ ( x + 2 x + 2 ) = 28 → 3 x + 2 = 14 → 3 x = 12 → x = 4 . Hence the width of the rectangle comes out to be 4 meters, then the length of the rectangle will be ( 2 x + 2 ) = ( 2 ⋅ 4 + 2 ) = 10 meters.
