The length of a rectangle is 3 in longer than its width.
If the perimeter of the rectangle is 70 in, find its length and width.


Sagot :

Answer:

A rectangle have 2 equal sides whilst the other 2 is also equal

So we can make length “l”

Whilst we can make width “w”

So the formula for a perimter is

2l+2w=p

In this case it’s 70

Now the length is 3 in longer then the width.

So l= 3+w

We can subsitute that in so we can solve the equation now

2(3+w) + 2w = 70

4w+6=70

Now solve

4w+6=70

4w= 64

w= 16

So width is 16

Lenght is 3 more then with so 16+3=19

Width is 16

Length is 19
