Answer:
The length is 11ft.
The width is 8ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Perimeter of a rectangle:
- P = perimeter
- l = length
- w = width
We know that the length is 5 ft less than twice the width, which can be expressed by the equation: l = 2w - 5. We can plug in 38 for "P".
We can substitute the equation for l, and solve for the width.
<h3>Solve for W</h3>The width is 8. We can solve for the length by plugging it back into the equation l = 2w - 5
<h3>Solve for L</h3>- l = 2w - 5
- l = 2(8) - 5
- l = 16 - 5
- l = 11
The length is 11.
The dimensions are 11 ft and 8 ft.
