Problema Solution
The width of a rectangle is half the length. Find the width and length if the perimeter is 126 m.
Answer provided by our tutors
let
w = the width of the rectangle
l = the length of the rectangle
P = 125 m the perimeter of the rectangle
the width of a rectangle is half the length:
w = l/2
the perimeter P = 2(l + w):
2(l + w) = 125
by solving the system of equations:
w = l/2
2(l + w) = 125
we find:
l = 125/3 in
w = 125/6 in
l = 41.67 in
w = 20.83 in

the width is 20.83 in and the length is 41.67 in.
