Algebra.Com's Answer #285322 by Nada(11)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! l > is the length & w > is the width \n" ); document.write( "Because a perimater of a rectangle is > 2( Width + Length ) \n" ); document.write( "& w = ( w ) & l = ( 4w+1 ) \n" ); document.write( "then the equation will be 52 = 2 ( (w) + (4w+1) ) \n" ); document.write( "52 = 2w+8w+2 \n" ); document.write( "52 = 10w+2 \n" ); document.write( "10w = 52-2 >> w = 50/10 = 2 in \n" ); document.write( "Then to get the length : \n" ); document.write( "52 = 2(5+L) \n" ); document.write( "52 = 10+2L \n" ); document.write( "2L = 52-10 >> L = 42/2 = 21 \n" ); document.write( "To check your answer : \n" ); document.write( "2(5+21) = 52 ( answer is correct) \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
