Question 491590: The length of a rectangle is 1 foot more than twice the width. The perimeter is 20 feet. Find the dimensions. Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! L = 2W + 1
W = W
2(2W + 1) + 2W = 20
4W + 2 + 2W = 20
6W = 18
W = 3
====================================
L = 7 feet
W = 3 feet
14 feet + 6 feet = 20 feet
