Question

The length of rectangle is 5 cm greater than its width. The perimeter is 106cm. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Width-24 Length-29

Two sides of the rectangle are 5 cm bigger than the other two. So you would add the two 5 cm together (10cm). If you take the 10 cm off you (106-10) you will get a square. Then all you have to do is divide 96 by 4 (24), and add back on the two 5cm from the beginning to the length (29).
