Problema Solution

The length of a rectangle is 3 yd longer than its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 43 yd, find its area.

Answer provided by our tutors

3*(l) = wlength = l, width = w

2l + 2w = 43

2l + 2(3l) = 43

8l = 43

l = 43/8

w = 3(43/8)

Area = l * w = (43/8)*3*(43/8) = 86.67
