Answer:
Width of the rectangle = 7 meters
Length of the rectangle = 12 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)
Perimeter of the rectangle = 38 meters
Width of the rectangle = w
Length of the rectangle = w + 5
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)
38 = 2{(w + 5) + w}
38 = 2(w + 5 + w)
38 = 2(2w + 5)
38 = 4w + 10
38 - 10 = 4w
28 = 4w
w = 28/4
w = 7 meters
Width of the rectangle = w
= 7 meters
Length of the rectangle = w + 5
= 7 + 5
= 12 meters
