Answer:
- Length = 43 inches
- Width = 12 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 * ( L + W)
The length of a rectangle is 5 inches less than 4 times the width.
Assume the width is x. Length is:
4x - 5
Equation is therefore:
2 * (4x - 5 + x) = 110
4x - 5 + x = 110/2
5x - 5 = 55
5x = 55 + 5
x = 60/5
x = 12 inches
If width is 12 inches, then length is:
= 4x - 5
= 4 * 12 -5
= 43 inches
