Algebra.Com's Answer #341608 by ptaylor(2198) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perimeter(P) of a rectangle equals 2* Length(L) plus 2*Width(W) or P=2L+2W\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let W=width \n" ); document.write( "Then L=3W+2 \n" ); document.write( "soooo, \n" ); document.write( "P=2L+2W or \n" ); document.write( "44=2(3W+2)+2W \n" ); document.write( "6W+4+2W=44 \n" ); document.write( "8W=40 \n" ); document.write( "W=5 yards-------------------width of rectangle \n" ); document.write( "CK \n" ); document.write( "L=3W+2=3*5+2=17 yards \n" ); document.write( "44=2*17+2*5 \n" ); document.write( "44=34+10 \n" ); document.write( "44=44\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps---ptaylor \n" ); document.write( " |
