Question

4. The perimeter of a rectangle is 42 yards.

The difference of the length and width of
the rectangle is 7 yards. Find the length
and width.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let width = x

Length = 7 + x

Perimeter = 42 yards

2*(length + width) = 42

2* ( 7 + x + x) = 42

7 + 2x = 42/2

7 + 2x = 21

2x = 21 - 7

2x = 14

x = 14/2

x = 7

Width = 7 yards

Length = 7 + 7 = 14 yards
