Algebra.Com's Answer #455138 by Cromlix(4381) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perimeter = 2 x length + 2 x width \n" ); document.write( " length = (x + 43) width = x \n" ); document.write( "Perimeter => 2(x + 43) + 2x = 266 \n" ); document.write( " => 4x + 86 = 266 \n" ); document.write( " 4x = 266 - 86 \n" ); document.write( " 4x = 180 \n" ); document.write( " x = 45 \n" ); document.write( " Therefore length = 88 ft \n" ); document.write( " width = 45 ft \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
