Hi,



the perimeter of a rectangleis 600 yards. What are the dimensions of the rectangle if the length is 50 yards more than the widthhighlight%28x%29 ?

P = 2L + 2W = 2(x+50) + 2x = 600

          2(x+50) + 2x = 600

              4x = 500

               x = 125yd, the width.  the length is 175yd     (125yd + 50yd)
