You can put this solution on YOUR website! the length of a rectangle is 8 in. more than its width. The perimiter of the rectangle is 24 in. what are the length and width of the rectangle?
-----------------------------
Let width be W
Then length = W+8 inches
-----------------
Perimeter = 2(W + L)
24 = 2(W + W+8)
12 = 2W+8
2W = 4
W = 2 inches (Width)
L = W+8 = 10 inches (Length)
