Question 26203: The length of a rectangle is 5 cm more than twice the width. The perimeter is 82 cm. Find the length and width. Answer by elima(1433) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Formula for a perimeter;
p=2l+2w
Now fill in the equation with the given values;
p= 82cm
l=w+5
82=2(w+5)+2w
82=2w+10+2w
82=4+10
72=2w
18=w
So the width =
the length = +5
l=
