Question

The perimeter of a rectangular tray is 28 inches. The length of the tray is 2 inches longer the width of the tray. Determine the dimensions of the rectangular tray.

Answer 1

width = 6 and length = 8

Explanation:

perimeter = 2*(length + width). (1)

and we have that length = 2 + width

in (1)

28 = 2 *(width + 2 + width)

14= 2*width +2

width =6

and so length will be 8
