Question 423673: The distance around the rectangle is 38 cenimeters. The length of the rectangle is 3 cenimeters greater than the width. What is the lenght and width of the rectangle? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perimeter =38
Length x+3
Width =x cm
Perimeter =2((x+3)+x)
Perimeter = 2(2x+3)
38=4x+6
38-6=4x
32=4x
x=8 cm Width
Length =11 cm
