Question

The length of a rectangle is 2 meters less than 3 times the width. The perimeter is 44

Answer 1

Answer:

Width of rectangle = 6 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Width of rectangle = x

Length of rectangle = 3x-2

Perimeter of rectangle = 44 meters

We need to find:

The Width of rectangle.

The formula used is:

$Perimeter\:of\:rectangle=2(Length\times Width)$

Putting values and finding value of x

$Perimeter\:of\:rectangle=2(Length\times Width)\\44=2(3x-2+x)\\44=2(4x-2)\\44=8x-4\\8x=44+4\\8x=48\\x=\frac{48}{8}\\x=6$

So, we get the value of x = 6.

We know that Width of rectangle = x = 6

So, Width of rectangle = 6 meters
