The perimeter of a rectangular window is 40 feet. The width of the window is 6 feet more than the length. what are the dimensions of the window? the length of the window?
**
let x=length of the window
x+6=width of the window
perimeter=2*width+2*length
40=2(x+6)+2x
40=2x+12+2x
4x=28
x=7
x+6=13
ans:
length of the window=7 ft
width of the window=13 ft
