Question

The length of a Rectangle is five less than twice its width the perimeter is 26 m find the dimensions of the rectangle

Answer 1

L = 7 m

W = 6 m

Explanation:

P = 2L + 2W

26 = 2(2W - 5) + 2W

26 = 4W - 10 + 2W

26 = 6W - 10

+10. +10

36 = 6W

divide both sides by 6

36/6 = W

6 = W

L = 2(6) - 5

L =12 - 5 = 7
