Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 260 yards. The length is 30 yards greater than the width. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

width: 50 yards

length: 80 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

I would write an equation to start

x = width

260 = 2x + 2(x + 30)

260 = 4x + 60

200 = 4x

x = 50

Width = 50 yards

Length = width + 30

Length = 50 + 30

Length = 80 yards
