Question 1002520: Length of rectangle is 120 inches more than the width and the perimeter is 892 inches. What are the dimensions of the rectangle? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
Make the width = 'x'
Length = 120 + x
Perimeter of rectangle
= 2(Width) + 2(Length)
892 = 2(x) + 2(120 + x)
892 = 2x + 240 + 2x
Collect like terms:
2x + 2x = 892 - 240
4x = 652
x = 163
Width = 163 inches
Length = 283 inches
Hope this helps. :-)
