The perimeter of a rectangle is 304 cm
\n" ); document.write( "2L + 2w = 304
\n" ); document.write( "simplify, divide by 2
\n" ); document.write( "L + w = 152
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " the length is 40 cm longer than the width
\n" ); document.write( "L = w + 40
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "what is the length and width
\n" ); document.write( "In the first simplified equation, replace L with (w+40)
\n" ); document.write( "(w+40) + w = 152
\n" ); document.write( "2w = 152 - 40
\n" ); document.write( "2w = 112
\n" ); document.write( "w = 112/2
\n" ); document.write( "w = 56 cm is the width
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "L = 56 + 40
\n" ); document.write( "L = 96 cm is length
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this, find the perimeter using these solutions
\n" ); document.write( "2(96) + 2(56) =
\n" ); document.write( "192 + 112 = 304
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
