Answer ASAP for brainly

Answer 1

Answer:

19.5 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width = x.

The length is 3 more than the width, so the length is x + 3.

perimeter = 2 * length + 2 * width

perimeter = 2(x + 3) + 2x

perimeter = 72

2(x + 3) + 2x = 72

2x + 6 + 2x = 72

4x + 6 = 72

4x = 66

x = 16.5

x + 3 = 16.5 + 3 = 19.5

Answer: 19.5 in.
