Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 80. The width is 4 more than half the length. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

width is 24

length is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation we would use is x+x+.5x+4+.5x+4=80

The variable x stands for the width in this situation.

then we would simplify the equation to 3x+8=80

then we solve for x.

3x=72

73/3=24

the width is 24

the length is 24/2+4=16
