A rectangle has a length that is 4 inches longer than it’s width. Its perimeter is 36 inches. Which of the following is it’s area?

Answer 1

Answer:

77 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

W= width

L=Length

4+w=L

4+w+4+w+w+w

4w+8=36

4w+8-8=36-8

4w=28

4w/4=28/4

w=7

4+7=11

L=11

w=7

11 x 7=77

Final answer

77 inches
