Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 72 meters. The length is 4 meters more than three times the width What are the dimensions of the rectangle?

25

Answer 1

Answer: HI

w = 8

Explanation:

hi

P = 2L + 2W

P = 72

L = 2W + 4

72 = 3(2W + 4) 2W

72 = 6W + 8 + 2W

72 =8W + 8

64 = 8W

W = 8

if the width is 8, then the length is thrice that plus 4 or 28 + 28 + 8 + 8 = 72
