Question

The area of a rectangle is 104m^2. The width of the rectangle is 5 meters more than the length. What is the perimeter of the rectangle?

Answer 1

perimeter = 238/3

Explanation:

Width is 5 meters more than the length

w = l + 5

Area = 104m^2

`l=(104)/(l+5)`

`l+5` ×
`l` = 104

`l=(52)/(3)`

`w=(52)/(3) +5`

`w=(67)/(3)`

perimeter =
`2l+2w`

perimeter =
`2((52)/(3) )+2((67)/(3) )`

perimeter =
`(238)/(3)`
