the length of a rectangle is 7 inches more than the width. the perimeter is 38 inches. find the length and the width of the rectangle.



Answer :

A rectangle's length is 7 inches longer than its width. the perimeter is 38 inches. the length is 13 inches and the width of the rectangle is 12 inches

width = (38 - 14) / 2 = 12 inches

length = (38 - 12) / 2 = 13 inches

to find the length and width of the rectangle given that the length is 7 inches more than the width, and the perimeter is 38 inches, we can use the formula for perimeter (2 x length + 2 x width = perimeter). Plugging in the values given, we get 2 x length + 2 x width = 38. Solving for width, we get width = (38 - 14) / 2 = 12 inches. Plugging this value into the original equation, we get length = (38 - 12) / 2 = 13 inches. Therefore, the length and width of the rectangle are 13 inches and 12 inches, respectively.
