Algebra.Com's Answer #585640 by macston(5194)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! W=width; L=length=3W;P=perimeter=44cm \n" ); document.write( "P=2(L+W) \n" ); document.write( "44cm=2(L+W)...Divide each side by 2 \n" ); document.write( "22cm=L+W...Substitute for L \n" ); document.write( "22cm=3W+W \n" ); document.write( "22cm=4W...Divide each side by 4 \n" ); document.write( "5.5cm=W...ANSWER 1: The width is 5.5cm. \n" ); document.write( "L=3W=3(5.5cm)=16.5cm... ANSWER 2: The length is 16.5 cm. \n" ); document.write( "CHECK: \n" ); document.write( "Perimeter=2(L+W) \n" ); document.write( "44cm=2(16.5cm+5.5cm) \n" ); document.write( "44cm=2(22cm) \n" ); document.write( "44cm=44cm \n" ); document.write( " |
