Question 42524: The length of a rectangle is 2 cm more than twice its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 52 cm, find the dimensions of the rectangle.
let the width of the rectangle is x cm
then length of the rectangle will be 2x+2
given perimeter of the rectangle is 52 cm
=>2*(x+(2x+2))=52
=>2*(3x+2)=52
=>3x+2=26
=>3x=24
=>x=8
hence lenghth of the rectangle is 18cm and width is 8cm Found 2 solutions by Nate, pallavi:Answer by Nate(3500) (Show Source):
