Question

The length of a rectangle is 6 yd longer than its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 60 yd, find its length and width.

Answer 1

Length: 18 yards Width: 12 yards

Explanation:

Perimeter = (L+W) x 2

L = W + 6

60 yd = (W+W+6) x 2

30 yd = 2W + 6

24 yd = 2W

W = 12

L = 12 + 6 = 18
