The length of a rectangle is 3 inches more than its width, and its porimotor is 22 inchos. Find the width of the rectangle,

Respuesta :

Answer:

Width of rectangle= 10.16 cm.

Explanation:

Converting inches to centimeters

1 inch=2.54 cm

Perimeter of the rectangle= 22 inches= 22 * 2.54= 55.88 cm

Let the width of the rectangle be W.

Length of the rectangle is 3 inches more than its width i.e 3*2.54=  7.62 cm more than its width

So, length of the rectangle = W+7.62

Parameter of the rectangle = 2(Length+Width)

                                       55.88 = 2(W+7.62+W)

                                       55.88=2(2W+7.62)

                                       55.88=4W + 15.24

                                       55.88-15.24=4W

                                          W=10.16 cm

Width of the rectangle is 10.16 centimeters.
