The length of a red rectangle is 15cm more than its width w. A blue rectangle, which is 5 cm wider and 2 cm shorter than the red one, has perimeter 72cm. Make a sketch of the rectangles expressing all dimensions in terms of w. Then find the dimensions of each rectangle.
\n" ); document.write( "Larger rectangular;
\n" ); document.write( "L=W+15
\n" ); document.write( "W=W
\n" ); document.write( "========================
\n" ); document.write( "smaller rectangular;
\n" ); document.write( "L=w+15-2
\n" ); document.write( "W=W+5
\n" ); document.write( "2(w+13)+2(w+5)=72
\n" ); document.write( "2w+26+2w+10=72
\n" ); document.write( "4w+36=72
\n" ); document.write( "4w=36
\n" ); document.write( "w=9
\n" ); document.write( "=========================
\n" ); document.write( "Now we will plug the nine in for w, lets do the first one;
\n" ); document.write( "W=9
\n" ); document.write( "L=W+15
\n" ); document.write( "L=9+15=24
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "w=W+5
\n" ); document.write( "w=9+5=14
\n" ); document.write( "l=w+13
\n" ); document.write( "l=9+13=22
