Algebra.Com's Answer #649493 by fractalier(6550)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perimeter P = 2L + 2W = 64. \n" ); document.write( "Here L = W + 10...now substitute and get \n" ); document.write( "2(W+10) + 2W = 64 \n" ); document.write( "2W + 20 + 2W = 64 \n" ); document.write( "4W + 20 = 64 \n" ); document.write( "4W = 44 \n" ); document.write( "W = 11 m \n" ); document.write( "Then the length must be \n" ); document.write( "L = 21 m \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
