Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 34 inches. if the length is 2 inches more than twice the width, find the length and the width of the rectangle

Answer 1

Let the width of the rectangle be x. so length is 2+2x.

x + (2 + 2x) = 34
3x = 32
x = 10.6

width= 10.6 inches
length = 2 + 2(10.6) = 2 + 21.2 = 23.2 inches
