Question

The length of a rectangle is 2m longer than its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 36m , find its area.

Answer 1

Below

Explanation:

To find the area, you need to multiply L x W....so find those first

2 ( L + W) = 36 m

2 * ( W+2 + W ) = 36 m

4W + 4 = 36 m

W = 8 m then L = 10 m

8 m x 10 m = 80 m^2
