Question

the length of a rectangle is 2 inches more then twice its width. find the widtg of the rectangle if the perimeter is ar least 100 inches

Answer 1

width = 16 inch.

Explanation:

Given,

let the width be x

so, length = 2 in. more than twice its width = 2 + 2x

perimeter = 2l + 2b

we know,

perimeter = 100 in

so, 2l + 2b = 100

after inserting the values we got,

→ 2(2+2x) + 2(x) = 100

→ 4 + 4x + 2x = 100

→ 4 + 6x = 100

→ 6x = 100 - 4 = 96

→ x = 96/6 = 16

therefore, width is x so width of rectangle is 16 inch.

hope this answer helps you dear and may u have a great day ahead.
