Answer:
Width = 18 inches
Length = 59 inches
Explanation:
The length of a rectangle is five more than triple the width. If the perimeter is 154 inches, what are the dimensions
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W
The length of a rectangle is five more than triple the width.
L = Length = 5 + 3W
W = Width
If the perimeter is 154 inches, what are the dimensions
Hence,
154 = 2L + 2W
154 = 2(5 + 3W ) + 2W
154 = 10 + 6W + 2W
Collect like terms
154 - 10 = 8W
144 = 8W
W = 144/8
W = 18 inches
Length = 5 + 3W
Length = 5 + 3(18)
Length = 5 + 54
Length = 59 inches
