Answer:

<h2>length = 14 cm</h2><h2>width = 3 cm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

where

l is the length

w is the width

From the question

Perimeter = 34 cm

The statement

The length of a rectangle is 8 cm longer than twice the width is written as

l = 8 + 2w

Substitute this expression into the above formula and solve for the width

That's

34 = 2( 8 + 2w) + 2w

34 = 16 + 4w + 2w

6w = 18

Divide both sides by 6

w = 3

Substitute this value into l = 8 + 2w

That's

l = 8 + 2(3)

= 8 + 6

l = 14

The dimensions are

length = 14 cm

width = 3 cm

Hope this helps you
