Problema Solution
The width of a rectangle is 1 3/4 feet. The rectangle is 2 1/2 feet longer than it is wide. What is the length of the rectangle?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
w =1 3/4 ft = 1.75 ft the width of the rectangle
l = the length of the rectangle
The rectangle is 2 1/2 feet longer than it is wide:
l = w + 2 1/2
2 1/2 = 2.5
l = 1.75 + 2.5
l = 4.25 ft
l = 4 1/4 ft
The length of the rectangle is 4.25 ft.
