In a square, the sum of the lengths of three sides is 48 and in a rectangle
\n" ); document.write( " the difference between a length and a width is 7 in.
\n" ); document.write( " If a width of the rectangle is the same as a side of the square, how long is a length of the rectangle?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let s = side of the square and the width of the rectangle
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"In a square, the sum of the lengths of three sides is 48\"
\n" ); document.write( "3s = 48
\n" ); document.write( "s = 48/3
\n" ); document.write( "s = 16
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\" in a rectangle the difference between a length and a width is 7 in.\"
\n" ); document.write( "L = s + 7
\n" ); document.write( "L = 16 + 7
\n" ); document.write( "L = 23 is the length of the rectangle\r
