Answer:

Length: 7

Width: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a system of equations for this problem, where w is the width and l is the length.

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice its length added to twice its width.

2l+2w=22

The length is 3 more than the width:

l = w+3

We can now substitute in w+3 as l in the equation 2l+2w=22.

2(w+3) + 2w = 22

Distribute the first terms:

2w+6+2w=22

Combine like terms:

4w+6=22

Subtract 6 from both sides:

4w=16

Divide both sides by 4:

w = 4

Now we know that w = 4. We can now substitute this inside an equation to find l.

l = w+3\\\\l = 4+3\\\\l=7

Hope this helped!

Lisa [10]

Answer:

20 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 part of the ratio  refers to 15 units

Divide 15 by 3 to find the value of one part of the ratio

15 ÷ 3 = 5 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

4 parts = 4 × 5 = 20 units ← perimeter of larger figure
