The perimeter of a rectangle is 220 inches. the length exceeds the width by 60 inches. find the length and the width Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! L=W+60
2L+2W=220
2(W+60)+2W=220
2W+120+2W=220
4W=220-120
4W=100
W=100/4
W=25 IN. IS THE WIDTH.
L=25+60=85 IN. IS THE LENGTH.
PROOF:
2*85+2*25=220
170+50=220
220=220
