<PRE><B>Question 729891</B>
A kitchen is in the shape of a rectangle. The width is 3 meters less than one half of the length. If the perimeter is 60m find the dimensions of the rectangle. 
------------------
w = (1/2)L - 3
----
Equation:
perimeter = 2(length + width)
60 = 2(L + (1/2)L -3)
---
30 = (3/2)L - 3
(3/2)L = 33
Length = 22 m
------------------
