Let us assume the breadth of the rectangle to be x
\n" ); document.write( "Then the length will be 2 + 3x
\n" ); document.write( "Now we know that
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2(Length + Breadth)
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting the given perimeter 100 in the above equation would give us :
\n" ); document.write( "100 = 2(2+3x+x)
\n" ); document.write( "100 = 4 + 6x + 2x
\n" ); document.write( "100 = 4 + 8x
\n" ); document.write( "100-4 = 12x
\n" ); document.write( "12x = 96
\n" ); document.write( "x = 96/12
\n" ); document.write( "x= 8 = width
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 2 + 3x = 2 + 3(8) = 2 + 24 = 26\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer: the length of the rectangle is 26 while the width is 8.
