Question

A rectangle 9 cm long is equal in area to a square which has a perimeter of 24 cm,find the width of the rectangle.​

I want the explanation

Answer 1

3cm

Explanation:

The length of a rectangle Is 9cm

The perimeter Is 24

Let the width be x

Therefore the width can be calculated as follows

Perimeter= 2(length+width)

24= 2(9+x)

24= 18+2x

24-18= 2x

6= 2x

x= 6/2

x= 3cm

Hence tbe width is 3cm
