Question

Two sides of a rectangle differ by 3.5cm.Find the dimensions of the rectangle if its perimeter is 67cm.

the answer should contain step by step and understandable explanation.

Answer 1

One side = x
The other side = x+3.5
Perimeter is 2(L*w)
Perimeter is 2(x + x + 3.5)
2(2x + 3.5) = 67
4x + 7 = 67
4x = 60, x = 15
15 + 3.5 = 18.5
One side is 15cm, the other side is 18.5 cm

Answer 2

Sides are x and x + 3.5 cm

Perimeter = 2(x + (x + 3.5))cm

4x +7 = 67

x = 15cm Answer
