Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 62 meters. The length is 4 more than 2 times the width. What is the length?

Answer 1

4x+ 1 = 24 + 1 = 25 m.

Explanation:

Given, perimeter = 62 m. Perimeter : 2 (L+W) = 62 m. hence, L+W = 31 m. x = 30/5

Answer 2

Explanation:

let width be x

length = 2x + 4

2(x + 2x + 4) = 62

6x + 8 = 62

6x = 54

x = 9

length = 2(9) + 4 = 22cm
