The width of the rectangle is 0.4 meters less than the length. The perimeter of a rectangle is 53.2 meters. Find the dimensions of the rectangle (in meters).
\n" ); document.write( "length
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "P = 2W + 2L = 53.2
\n" ); document.write( "W + L = 26.6
\n" ); document.write( "L = W + 0.4
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Sub for L in the 1st equation
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
