A rectangle has a perimeter of 36inches the width is four inches bigger then length.
\n" ); document.write( "what's the length
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter equation
\n" ); document.write( "2L + 2W = 36
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "It say's,\"the width is four inches bigger then length.\", therefore:
\n" ); document.write( "W = (L+4)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Replace W with (L+4) in the perimeter equation
\n" ); document.write( "2L + 2(L+4) = 36
\n" ); document.write( "simplify, divide by 2:
\n" ); document.write( "L + (L+4) = 18
\n" ); document.write( "2L = 18 - 4
\n" ); document.write( "2L = 14
\n" ); document.write( "L = \"14%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "L = 7 inches is the length
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this, width 4 inches more: 11 inches
\n" ); document.write( "2(7) + 2(11) = 36 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
