<PRE><B>Question 336964</B>
length of a rectangle is 3cm greater then its width. the perimeter is 24 cm. what is the dimensions of the rectangle
-----
Let width = W
length = W+3
------------------
Perimeter = 2(width + length)
24 = 2(W + W+3))
12 = 2W + 3
2W = 9
W = 4.5 cm
length = W+3 = 7.5 cm
