You can put this solution on YOUR website! the perimeter of certain rectangule is16 timesthe width. the lengthis 12cm. more than the width. find the widthodf the rectangule
.
Let w = width of the rectangle
then
w+12 = length of the rectangle
.
perimeter = 2(width + length)
16w = 2(w + w+12)
16w = 2(2w+12)
16w = 4w+24
12w = 24
w = 2 cm (width)
