Perimeter is adding all 4 sides together.

To find the length and width divide total perimeter by 2:

21 / 2 = 10.5

We now know the length of 1 side and the width of 1 side need to equal 10.5.

Since the original piece was a square we also know the width needs to equal 1/2 of the length.


So we have L + 1/2L = 10.5

Add the common terms 1 L + 1/2 L = 1 and 1/2 L

To Find L divide 10.5 by 1-1/2, which equals 7

To find the width subtract 7 from 10.5, which equals 3.5

So the paper is now 3.5 inches by 7 inches.

aleksley [76]
Write an equation based on the problem in the terms of x and solve the equation
first number + second number + third number = 240
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 240
3x + 3 = 240
3x = 240 - 3
3x = 237
  x = 237/3
  x = 79
The smallest number, x, is equal to 79

Find the next two numbers
the second number = x + 1
the second number = 79 + 1
the second number = 80

the third number = x + 2
the third number = 79 + 2
the third number = 81

ANSWER: The three numbers are 79, 80, 81
