Algebra.Com's Answer #283147 by Tatiana_Stebko(1539) You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the width is x \n" ); document.write( "Then the length is (x+3) (because the length is to be 3m longer than the width) \n" ); document.write( "FORMULA: The perimeter of the rectangular is \n" ); document.write( "L - the length \n" ); document.write( "W - the width \n" ); document.write( "So perimeter of the rectangular is 2*(x+(x+3)) \n" ); document.write( "From Problem perimeter is 26 m \n" ); document.write( "So we have equation: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "the width of the rectangular backyard is 5m \n" ); document.write( "Then the length is (x+3)=5+3=8m \n" ); document.write( "Answer 5m and 8m \n" ); document.write( " |
