Problema Solution

The length of a rectangle is 4 cm more than twice its length. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 32 cm, find the length of the rectangle.

Let width= x

length = 2x + 4

Pweimeter = 2(length + width) = 2*(3x+4)

=> 32 = 6x + 8

=> 6x = 24

=> x = 4

=> width = 4

=> length = 2x + 4 = 12
