Question 1162163: Hello and thank you for taking the time to help me with this.
I have figured out the answer to my length and width. The solution I have is P=2(l+w)=2*(33+16)=98. I am not understanding what I need to do to answer the remaining questions.
A rectangle has perimeter 98 cm and its length is 1 cm more than twice its width.

Find the dimensions of a rectangle given that its perimeter is 98 cm and its length is 1 cm more than twice its width.
Part a: How is P related to L and W? To measure the perimeter, you need to go down one length, across one width, back one length, and back one width. Write that as an equation for P in terms of L and W. This is your answer to part a.

Part b: You should continue to use the information given in the question. The length is 1 more than twice the width - write that as an equation for L in terms of W. This is your solution to part b.

Your equation from part a has 3 variables (P, L and W) and you'd like to reduce it to 2 variables. You're told that P=98. You can put that into your perimeter equation for P.

Now the perimeter equation has 2 variables (L and W) and you'd like to reduce it to 1 variable. Use your equation from part b to replace L.

Now the perimeter equation has only 1 variable (W) left!

Parts c and d: Solve the equation for W and use your answer to calculate L.
