The width of a rectangle is x inches long. The length of that rectangle is 5 inches less than Twice the width. If the perimeter measures 26 inches, what is the measure of the length and width of the rectangle
Answer provided by our tutors
width = x
length = 2*x-5
perimeter = 2*(x + 2x-5)
According to question..
2*(x+2x-5) = 26
=> 6x -10 =26
=> x = 36/6 = 6
width = 6 inches
length = 7 inches.
