Answer:

Length 34 cm

Width 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of the rectangle

y----> the width of the rectangle

we know that

The perimeter of rectangle is equal to

P=2(x+y)

P=84 cm

so

84=2(x+y)

42=x+y ----> equation A

x=4y+2 -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

42=(4y+2)+y

5y=42-2

y=40/5=8 cm

Find the value of x

x=4y+2 ----> x=4(8)+2=34 cm

The dimensions are

Length 34 cm

Width 8 cm

Jim’s sleeping bag is 5 feet long.Jorge’ sleeping bag is 2 yards.Stevens sleeping bag is 68 inches,Whose sleeping bag is longer
Mariulka [41]

Well, we know 1 yard is 3 feet, so 2 yards is 6 feet. That makes Jorge's sleeping bag longer than Jim's. (6 feet is longer than 5 feet)

We also know that 1 yard is 36 inches, so 2 yards is 72 inches. That makes Jorge's sleeping bag longer than Steven's. (72 inches is longer than 68 inches)

Since Jorge's sleeping bag is longer than both Jim's and Steven's, Jorge's sleeping bag is longer.

The length of the rectangle is twice the width. Find the length of the rectangle if the perimeter is 42m.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

28m

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+x=42

3x=42

x=14

However, since the length of the rectangle is twice the width, we'll need to multiply it by 2.

So: 14 times 2=28
