Question

The length of a rectangle is 2cm longer than the width. The perimeter is 52cm. What is the length and width of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

Width = 12 cm

Length = 14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle:

Let the width  = x cm

So, the length = (x+2) cm

Perimeter  = 52 cm

2 *(l+b) = 52

2 *(x+2  + x) =  52

   2 * ( 2x + 2) = 52

           2x + 2  = 52/ 2

           2x + 2  = 26

                 2x = 26- 2

                  2x = 24

                    x = 24/2

                    x = 12

Width = 12 cm

Length = 14 cm
