The length and width of the rectangle is 16 ft and 13 ft respectively.
What is the dimensions of the rectangle?
The perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)
- Perimeter of the rectangle = 58 ft
- Width of the rectangle = w ft
- Length of the rectangle = (w + 3) ft
The perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)
58 = 2{(w + 3) + w}
58 = 2(w + 3 + w)
58 = 2(3 + 2w)
open parenthesis
58 = 6 + 4w
subtract 6 from both sides
58 - 6 = 4w
52 = 4w
divide both sides by 4
w = 52/4
w = 13
Hence,
Width of the rectangle = w ft
= 13 ft
Length of the rectangle = (w + 3) ft
= 13 + 3
= 16 ft
Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle is given by 16 ft and 13 ft respectively
