Question

The length of a rectangle is 3 meters more than the width. If the perimeter is 190 meters, what are the length and the width?

Answer 1

length = 49 m

width = 46 m

Explanation:

Length= w+3

width = w

Perimeter = 2L +2W

190=2(w+3) +2w

190=2w+6+2w (combine like terms now

190=4w+6

184=4w

w=46

Length

46+3 = 49
