Question

A rectangles width is 13 more than its length. If the perimeter is 82 feet what is the length and width.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Lenght should be the greater here. I am considering your question however.

Let length side is 'x'.

The width side is 'x +13'

Perimeter of a rectangle : 2 ×( length + width)

given that perimeter is 82

2 × ( x + x + 13) = 82

2 × ( 2x + 13) =82

4x + 26 = 82

2x = 56

x = 28 cm

length is 28

width is 41
