Question

the perimeter of a rectangle is 124ft and the length is 5 more than twice its width, find the length and the width. note: p

Answer 1

length = 43 ft ; width = 19 ft

Explanation:

perimeter/2 = 124/2 = 62 ft

l = 2w + 5

l + w = 62

2w+5 + w = 62

3w = 62 - 5

3w = 57

w = 57/3

w = 19 ft

l = 2 · 19 + 5

l = 38 + 5

l = 43 ft
