Question

The length of a rectangle is 22 feet longer than the width. the perimeter is 1616 feet. find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answer 1

So we can setup variable equations for this:
so we're given that the length is 22feet longer than the width!
so as an expression length is equal to 22+w
and width as an expression is just w
so the formula for the perimeter for a rectangle is 2l+2w=perimeter
so fill it in now!
1616=2(22+w)+2w
1616=44+2w+2w
1616=44+4w
1572=4w
divide by four..
w=393
and length is simply 22 more than that as stated in the question!
so length is 415
dimensions are: 415x393
