Question 539427
Recall that for a rectangle, the perimeter (P) can be expressed as:
P = 2(L+W) where L = Length and W = width.
You are given:
P = 58 "The perimeter of the rectangle is 58 cm."
L = W+3 "The length of the rectangle is 3 more than its width."
You need to start with: P = 2(L+W) and make the appropriate substitutions from the given data to solve for L and W.
