Problema Solution
The perimeter of a rectangular window is 28ft. 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
w = the width of the window
l = the length of the window
The perimeter of a rectangular window is 28ft:
2(l + w) = 28 divide both sides by 2
l + w = 14
The width of the window is 6 feet more than the length:
w = 6 + l
by solving the system of equations:
l + w = 14
w = 6 + l
we find
l = 4 ft
w = 10 ft

the dimensions of the window are 4 ft and 10 ft.
