Question 486967: the perimeter of some traffic signs must be 92 inches. its length is 14 inches longer than its width. find the dimensions of the sign

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Perimeter is P = 2l + 2w = 92
l = w + 14
P = 2(l + w) = 92 or l + w = 46
w + 14 + w = 46
2w + 14 = 46
2w = 32
w = 16
l = w + 14 = 16 + 14 = 30
Length is 30 in
Width is 16 in
