You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The length of a rectangle is 2 cm more than twice its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 52 cm, find the dimensions of the rectangle
Let the width of the rectangle be = 2x
the length of the rectangle = 2x+2 cms
the perimeter of the rectangle p = 52 cms
p = 2(length+width)
52 = 2(2x+2+2x)
52/2 = 4x+2
26-2 = 4x
24 = 4x
x = 24/4 = 6
therefore length of the rectangle = 2.6+2 = 12+2 = 14 cms
width of the rectangle = 2.6 = 12 cms
