Question 458402: The length of a rectangle is 2cm more than the width. the perimeter is 68 cm. find the length and the width
let the width of the rctangle be x cms
then length of the rectangle will be (x+2)cms
here given that primeter of the rectangle is 68 cm
then 2(x+x+2)=68
=>2*(2x+2)=68
=>4*(x+1)=68
=>x+1=17
=>x=16
hence the length of the rectangle is 18 cm and the width is 16 cm
