Answer:
Length is 14 in
Width is 8 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- Length = l
- Width = w
- Perimeter = P = 44 in
Solution
Equations as per given:
- l - w = 6
- P= 2(l+w) = 44 ⇒ l +w = 22
Adding up the two equations:
- l - w + l +w = 6 + 22
- 2l = 28
- l = 28/2
- l = 14 in
Then finding the value of w:
- w = l -6
- w = 14 - 6
- w = 8 in
Answer: The length of the rectangle is 14 inches and width is 8 inches
