Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 96 yards and the length is 14 yards more than the width what are the dimensions of the rectangle

Answer 1

17 yards and 31 yards.

Explanation:

Since length is 14 more than width, lets call width: w and length: w+14

So perimeter is 96 so: 2w+2(w+14)=96

2w+2w+28=96 so 4w+28=96

4w=68 and finally w=17

So 17 yards and 31 yards.
