Question

I NEED THIS ANSWER ASAP!!!! John painted his most famous work inhis country, in 1930 on composition board with perimeter 108.39 in. If the rectangular painting is 5.89 in. taller than it is wide, find the dimensions of the painting. What is the width?

Answer 1

25.15 in

Explanation:

let's say that x = wide

so x+5.89=length

the perimeter is = 2(width +length)

P=2(x+x+5.89)

108.39=2(2x+5.89)

2x+5.89=54.195

2x=48.305

x=24.1525 in

which is 24.15 in
