Question

The length of a rectangle is 3 less than twice the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 66. Find the length and width of the rectangle.

Answer 1

15.

Explanation:

L + L + W + w = 66

L= w+3

W+3 + w+3 + w + w = 66

4xw + 6 = 66

4xw = 66 - 6

4xw = 60

W + W +w +w =60

W= 60/4

W=15

L = 15+3 (=18)

15+15+18+18=66
