document.write( "Question 4024: The perimeter of a rectangle is 50ft. The width of a rectangle is 5ft. less than the length. Find the length and the width of the rectangle. P = 2w +2L \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #1776 by alok(3)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The perimeter of a rectangle= 2w+2l where w is the width & l is the length.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Here, width is length less 5 ft.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "or w=l-5\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "hence replacing w by l-5 we get P= 2(l-5)+2l=50\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "or 50= 2l -10+2l \n" ); document.write( "or 50=4l-10 \n" ); document.write( "or 60=4l \n" ); document.write( "or l=60/4 \n" ); document.write( "or l=15\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "hence length is 15 ft & width is 10 ft \n" ); document.write( " |
