The perimeter of a rectangle is 186 inches.
The length exceeds the width by 65 inches. Find the length and the width.
:
Perimeter equation:
2L + 2W = 186
:
It says,"The length exceeds the width by 65 inches.", therefore:
L = W + 65
:
Replace L with (W+65) in the perimeter equation
2(W+65) + 2W = 186
Simplify, divide by 2
(W+65) + W = 93
:
2W = 93 - 65
:
2W = 28
W =
W = 14 inches is the width
:
L = W + 65
L = 14 + 65
L = 79 inches is the length
:
:
Check solution, find the perimeter
2(79) + 2(14) =
158 + 28 = 186
