Six questions to be answered.
1. The perimeter of s rectangle is 144m. The length is 6m more than twice the width. Find the dimensions.
What is the length?
Simplify answer.
Answer
Let 'l' be the length and 'b' be the width of the rectangle. Given that length is 6m more than twice the width.
That is, l = 2b + 6 ------------ (1)
Perimeter of the rectangle is 144m.
That is, 2(l + b) = 144
Substituting the value of l from (1) in the above equation, we get,
That is, 2(2b + 6 + b) = 144
That is, 6b + 12 = 144
That is, 6b = 144 - 12 = 132
Therefore, b = 132/6 = 22
Substituting the value of b in (1), we get,
l = 2 * 22 + 6 = 50
Hence length = 50m and width = 22m.
