The perimeter of a​ standard-sized rectangular rug is 24 ft. The length is 2ft longer than the width. Find the dimensions.

Respuesta :

The length and width of the rectangle are equal to: 7 ft and 5 ft, respectively

Quadrilaterals

There are different types of quadrilaterals, for example, square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, and parallelogram.  Each type is defined accordingly to its length of sides and angles. For example, in a rectangle,  the opposite sides are equal and parallel and their interior angles are equal to 90°.

The perimeter of a geometric figure is the sum of its sides. Thus, for a rectangle, the perimeter is 2L+2W.

For this question, the length is 2ft longer than the width - L=2+W. Thus,

24=2*(2+W)+2W

24=4+2W+2W

24-4=4W

20=4W

W=5 ft

If W=5, L will be 2+5=7 ft.
