Question

2. The width of a rectangle is 8 more inches than the length. The perimeter is 56 inches.
Find the length and the width.

Answer 1

Answer:

length=10inches

width=18inches

Step-by-step explanation:

length=x

width=x+8

perimeter=2l+2b

56=2x+2(x+8)

56=2x+2x+16

56-16=4x

4x=40

x=40/4

x=10
