Question

the perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its length and it width. The perimeter is 16 meters ans its length is 2 meters more than twice its width. What is the length?

Answer 1

Answer:

The length is 6 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

If its width is x meters  then its length is 2x + 2 meters and we have the equation:

2x + 2(2x + 2) = 16

2x + 4x + 4 = 16

6x = 16 - 4

6x = 12

x = 2 meters.

Thus x is the width and the length is 2(2) + 2 = 6 meters.
