Question

The length of a rectangle is 4 inches longer than its width. The area of the rectangle is 32 inches square. What is the width ? The width is ___ inches

Answer 1

I hope this helps dear

Explanation:

P = 2(L + W) = 32 in

L = W + 4

2[(W + 4) + W] = 32 in ⇒

W = 6 in

L = W + 4 = (6 + 4) in = 10 in

A = LW = (10)(6) in2 = 60 in2
