Question

Rectangle has a perimeter of 48". The length is 4" more than the width. What is the length?

Answer 1

A rectangle has 4 sides. Two of the sides have the same length, and the other two sides have the same length. Therefore, two sides are x+4 and the other two are equal to x.

Your equation will be (x+4)+(x+4)+x+x=48

When you solve for x, you get 10.

Since your length is x+4, you will do 4+10 which is 14 as your final answer

FINAL ANSWER: 14''

Answer 2

Answer:. Width=10 Length = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

2w + 2(w+4) = 48

2w +2w + 8 = 48

4w = 48-8

4w = 40

W=10. L= 14

10+10+14+14 = 48
