Answer:
l = 16 cm
Explanation:
Let's set the width of the rectangle as "w" and the length of the rectangle as "w/2 + 9".
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding up the value of all of its side lengths. Therefore, we can find the perimeter using 2l + 2w = P.
We can substitute 60 for P and w/2 + 9 for l.
- 2(w/2 + 9) + 2w = 60
- 2w/2 + 18 + 2w = 60
- w + 18 + 2w = 60
- 3w + 18 = 60
- 3w = 42
- w = 14
Substitute w = 14 into the equation for length l.
- l = w/2 + 9
- l = 14/2 + 9
- l = 16
The length of the rectangle is 16 cm.
