Question

1. The length of a rectangle is five more than the width. Find the length of the rectangle if the perimeter
of the rectangle is 60 inches.

Answer 1

Answer:

$Width=12.5 inch\\Length=17.5 inch$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, width of the rectangle be 'w'

length of the rectangle=w+5

Perimeter=60 inches

Perimeter of the rectangle=2(Length+width)

$60=2(w+5+w)\\\\60=2(2w+5)$

Dividing by '2' both sides:

$2w+5=60/2\\\\2w+5=30$

Subtracting '5' both side:

$2w=30-5\\\\2w=25$

Dividing by '2' both side:

$w=25/2\\\\w=12.5 inch\\\\Width=12.5 inch$

$Length=width+5=12.5+5=17.5 inch$
