Question

The length of a rectangle is 2 cm longer than its width.

If the perimeter of the rectangle is 52 cm, find its length and width.

whats the length and width

Answer 1

width =12

length=14

Explanation:

let it's width =x length=x+2

perimeter of rectangle=2(l+b)

2(x+x+2)=52

2(2x+2)=52

4x+4=52

4x=52-4

4x=48

x=48/4

x=12

width=12

length =x+2

12+2

14

Answer 2

W=12 L=14

Explanation:

perimeter= 2L+2w

2(x+2)+2x=52

2x+4+2x=52

4x=48

x=12
