Question

The length of a rectangle is 6 inches more than the width. The perimeter is 40 inches. Find the length and the width of the rectangle

Answer 1

Answer:

lenght = 13 inches

width = 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

p= 2(l+b)

let lenght be x

width be y

so x=y+6

40 = 2(y+6 + y)

40= 2( 2y+6 )

20= 2y +6

2y = 20-6

2y=14

y=7

x=7+6=13

so lenght is 13 inches

width is 7 inches
