Problema Solution
The width of a rectangle is 3 ft. Less than the length. The perimeter is 62ft. Find the length and width of the rectangle.
Answer provided by our tutors
let the lenght be = L
width = L-3
perimeter = 2( length + width)
= 2( l+l-3) = 2(2L-3)
given perimeter = 62
we get 2(2L-3) = 62
2L-3 = 31
2L = 34
length = 17 and width = 17-3=14
