Question

The length of a rectangle is 2 cm more thantimes the width. The perimeter is 196 cm. Findthe width and length.

Answer 1

Let the width be x. The lenght is 2cm more than the width, so: x+2.

The perimeter is x + x + x+2 +x+2 = 196

4x+4=196

4x=192

x=48

The width is 48 and the lenght is 50.
