Perimeter is 2L+2W so we can say 2L+2W=60
The width is 8 inches more than the length so W=L+8.
Substitute our expression for W into the equation so all the terms are the same
2L + 2(L+8)=60
2L+2L+16=60
4L+16=60
4L=44
Length=11 inches
Width= 11+8 = 19 inches
We can prove this answer is right by doing 11 + 11 + 19 + 19 which equals 60
What is the width of the square?
maybe the answer is 4 i don't have an computation but it feels 4
