Question 979319: The length of a rectangle is 11 ft. longer than twice the width. If the perimeter is 94 ft, find the length and width of the rectangle. Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there
Make the width = 'x'
So, the length = 11 + 2x
Perimeter = 2 x Length + 2 x Width
94 = 2(11 + 2x) + 2x
94 = 22 + 4x + 2x
Collect like terms
6x = 94 - 22
6x = 72
x = 12
Width = 12 ft
Length = 35 ft
Hope this helps:-)
