The length of a rectangle is 4 inches more than its width. The area of the rectangle is equal to 5 inches more than 2 times the perimeter. Find the length and width of the rectangle

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

 L = 4 + w

A = 2P - 4

lw = 2(2l +2w) - 4

lw = 4(l + w) - 4

(w+4)w = 4 ( w+4+w) -4

(w +4)w = 4(2w + 4) - 4

w^2 + 4w = 8w + 16 - 4

w^2 + 4w = 8w + 12

w^2 - 4w - 12 = 0

( w      -       6 )( w  +       2  ) = 0

w - 6 = 0 ----> w = 6 ----> L=10  ---> P = 32  and A = 60

w + 2 = 0 ---> w = -2 <--- width cannot be negative; disqualified/rejected
