The perimeters of a rectangle is 82 centimeters. The lengths in centimeters of 2 adjacent sides are consecutive integers
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = one side of rectangle
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "x+1 = adjacent side
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2(x + x+1) = 82
\n" ); document.write( "2(2x+1) = 82
\n" ); document.write( "2x+1 = 41
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 40
\n" ); document.write( "x = 20 centimeters
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "adjacent side:
\n" ); document.write( "x+1 = 20+1 = 21 centimeters
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "the rectangle is 20 by 21 centimeters \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
