Question

the perimeter of a rectangular picture frame is 32 inches.the length of the frame is 2 inches longer than the width. what are the dimensions of the frame? STEP BY STEPPP

Answer 1

Answer:

The width is 7 inches and the length is 9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

So we can divide 32 by 2 because we know perimeter is 2(l*w)

So it becomes 16, and it is now (l*w)

We know that the length is 2 inches longer so we subtract 2 from 16.

It then becomes 14 inches so therefore we can then divide it by 2.

14 divided by 2 is 7 and therefore we add 2 because we subtracted the two from earlier temporarily.

Therefore the width is 7 and the length is 9.
