Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 72. The width is 4 less than the length.

Answer 1

Answer:

The perimeter =72

The width = 16

The length = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

.A rectangle has 4 sides , so 72 divided by four is 18. The question is that the width is 4 less than the length. The difference between the length and the width is 4 so increase the length by 2 and decrease the width by 2. Now the numbers obtained are 16 ( 18 decreased by 2) and 20 (18 increased by 2). It is mentioned in the question that the width is less and length is more.
