The perimeter of rectangle is 60 feet. Find its length and width if the length is 8 feet longer than width
Answer provided by our tutors
let
l = the length of the rectangle
w = the width of the rectangle
the perimeter of rectangle is 60 feet
2(l + w) = 60
the length is 8 feet longer than width
l = 8 + w
by solving the system of equations
2(l + w) = 60
l = 8 + w
we find
l = 19 ft
w = 11 ft
