The length of the rectangle is 7inches and the width of the rectangle is 2inches
A rectangle is a type of quadrilateral with opposite sides equal. The perimeter of the rectangle is expressed by
Perimeter = 2(l+w)
Where l is the length and w is the width.
let the width of the rectangle be x
and length = 9x - 11
Therefore;
P = 2( x + 9x - 11)
P = 2( 10x - 11)
18 = 20x - 22
20x = 18 + 22
20x = 40
divide both sides by 20
x = 40/20 = 2
Therefore,
width = 2 inches
length = 2 × 9 - 11
= 7inches
Question
The length of a rectangle is 11 less than 9 tomes the width. the perimeter of the rectangle is 18 inches. What is the width and length of the rectangle.
