Question 853075: the length of a rectangle is 5 meters more than its width. The perimeter is 66 meters. find the dimensions of the rectangle Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi,
Let x represent the width ⇒ (w + 5cm) represents the length
P = 2L + 2w = 66m
0r L + w = 33m |Note: L is "5 meters more than its width" 0r
(w+5m) + w = 33
2w = 28m
w = 14m and length is 19m
