The length and width of rectangular traffic sign are 40 and 30 inches respectively
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given that,
Perimeter of rectangular traffic sign = 140 inches
Let length and width be denoted as ‘L’ and ‘B’ respectively
Given that length is 10 inches longer than its width
L = 10 + B
<em><u>The perimeter of rectangle is given as:</u></em>
Perimeter = 2( L + B)
On substituting the values, we get
140 = 2(10 + B + B)
140 = 2(10 + 2B)
140 = 20 + 4B
B = 30
Therefore, the length is L = 10 + 30 = 40
Hence the dimensions length and width of the rectangle are 40 and 30 inches respectively.
