Question

The length of a rectangle is 8 inches more than the width. The area of the rectangle is 33 square inches. What is the perimeter of the rectangle

Answer 1

Answer:

28 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Put x as the width and x+8 as the length. The equation would be x(x+8)=33 and it would factor out as (x-3)(x+11). The width is 3 and the length is 11. The perimeter would be 28.
