Question 1128027: Filipino is building a rectangular sandbox for his younger brother. The length of the sandbox is 1 foot longer than twice the width of the sandbox. The perimeter of the sandbox is 29 feet Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! width=x
length is 2x+1
perimeter is 29=2L+2W
29=2x+2(2x+1)
29=2x+4x+2
6x=27
x=4.5 foot width
length =10 feet
half perimeter is 14.5 feet
perimeter is 29 feet
