Question 291043: a rectangular corral has a perimeter of 64 yards. Its lenth is 8 yards more than its width. What are the dimensions of the corral? Answer by Greenfinch(383) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Call the width X and thus the length is X + 8
Perimeter is 2X + 2(X+8) = 64
4X + 16 = 64
4X = 48
X = 12, so length should be 20
2x width = 24, 2 x length is 40 total perimeter is 64, it checks
