No, the work is correct, but the interpretation is not. “6 is less than or equal to h<span>” means that h is greater than or equal to 6. He must grow at least 6 inches, not at most 6 inches.</span>

The width of a rectangle is 4 inches greater than half the length. The perimeter is 56 inches. What is the length and the width

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Length of the rectangle = 16 inches

Width of the rectangle = 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be represented by x.

Then width can be expressed as $\[\frac{x}{2}+4\]
$

Perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of four sides of the rectangle.

This can be expressed as 2*(length + breadth)

= $2* (x + \frac{x}{2}+4)$

= $2* (\frac{3x}{2}+4)$

= $3x + 8$

But perimeter is given as 56.

So, $\[3x + 8 = 56\]
$

=> $3x = 48$

=> $x = 16$

Hence length of the rectangle = 16 inches

Width of the rectangle = $\frac{16}{2}+4$ = 12 inches
