Problema Solution

the perimeter of a rectangle is 68ft. the length exceeds 3 times the width by 2ft. find the dimensions of the rectangle

Answer provided by our tutors

perimeter = 2 (len + breadth)  = 68

 

 lght +breadth = 34

lgth = 34-width

 

given length - 3width = 2

         34-width -3width = 2

         34-2 = 4width

      32 = 4 width

width = 8 fts

hence length = 34-8 = 26 fts
