Question

The length of a rectangle is 3yd longer than its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 26 yd ,find its area

Answer 1

A=40

Explanation:

There are two sides of a rectangle that are the length.

So at 3 twice.

3+3=6

Subtract it from 26.

26-6=20

Divide by 4

20/4=5

Width= 5

Add 3 to 5

3+5=8

L=8

Check:

5+8+5+8=26

10+16=26

26=26

Area= L*W

8x5=40

A=40

Hope I'm correct!
