Problema Solution

The perimeter of a rectangular window is 34 feet. The width of the window is 3 feet more than the length. What are the dimensions of the window?

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'w' represent the width of the window, then 'w-3' represents its length

perimeter = 2 (length + width)


34 = 2(w + w-3)

solving for 'w' we have w=10


10-3 = 7


the width of the window is 10 feet, its length is 7 feet
