Problema Solution
the perimeter of a rectangular window is 40 feet. The width of the window is 6 feet more than the length. what are the dimensions of the window
Answer provided by our tutors
let
l = the length of the rectangular window
w = the width of the rectangular window
the perimeter of a rectangular window is 40 feet
2(l + w) = 40
the width of the window is 6 feet more than the length
w = 6 + l
by solving the system of equations
2(l + w) = 40
w = 6 + l
we find
l = 7 ft
w = 13 ft
