Question

4. The length of a rectangle is eight more

than twice its width. The perimeter is 96
feet. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
Variable:
Equation:
Solution:

Answer 1

L = length

W = width

L = 2(2W + 8)

W = 2W

Perimeter: 96 = 4W + 16 + 2W

96 = 6W + 16

80 = 6W

13.33 = W

Plug this into the equation:

2(13.33) + 8

26.67 + 8 or 34.67 = L
