where
P is the perimeter of the rectangle
W is the width of the rectangle
L s the length of the rectangle
In this problem
Substitute the values in the formula above
therefore
the answer is
the length of the longer side of the rectangle is equal to
The area of the rectangle is units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
The area of a rectangle is obtained by multiplying the length with the width of the rectangle.
Considering this a whole rectangle, the length of the rectangle is 5 units and the width is the sum of ,
, and -6.
So the length of the rectangle = 5 units and
the width of the rectangle units.
The area of a rectangle = (length)(width).
Step 2:
By substituting the known values, we get
The area of the rectangle
So the area of the rectangle is units.
