Question

ON THE SMARTBOARD, THE

MATH TEACHER DREW A
RECTANGLE WITH A PERIMETER
The
OF 406 cm. THE LENGTH OF THE
RECTANGLE IS 7cm LONGER
THAN THE WIDTH. FIND THE
DIMENSIONS OF THE RECTANGLE.

Answer 1

The length of rectangle is 105 cm and width is 98 cm.

Explanation:

Given,

Perimeter of rectangle = 406 cm

Let,

w be the width of rectangle

Length of rectangle = w+7

We know that

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(Length + Width)

`406 = 2(w+7+w)\\406 = 2(2w+7)\\406 = 4w+14\\406-14 = 4w\\392=4w\\4w=392`

Dividing both sides by 4

`(4w)/(4)=(392)/(4)\\w=98`

Width of rectangle = 98 cm

Length of rectangle = 98+7 = 105 cm

The length of rectangle is 105 cm and width is 98 cm.
