Question

The length of a rectangle is 2m longer than its width.
If the perimeter of the rectangle is 24m , find its area.

Answer 1

Answer:

35m

Step-by-step explanation:

length = 2+w

width = w

Perimeter = 2(length)+2(width)

24 = 2(2+w)+2(w) =  4+2w+2w = 4+4w

24=4+4w

4w=20

w=5

width =5

length = 2+5 = 7

Area = (length)(width) = 5(7) = 35m
