Problema Solution

find the length of a rectangular lot with a perimeter of 128m if the length is 8m more than the width

Answer provided by our tutors

We will use the general equation: (perimeter or rectangle)=2(length)+2(width). From the given information, we can write:


128=2l+2w

l=w+8


Using Algebrator to solve for 'l' and 'w', we get:

l=36 meters

w= 28 meters
