Respuesta :
So you would have to set up a equation to find the length and width. The equation would be w+(w+2)=16
that simplifies to 2w+2=16
2w=14
w=7
the width is 7
the length is 9
The length is 5 feet and the width is 3 feet.
Rectangle:
- A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles in the Euclidean plane.
- It can alternatively be described as a parallelogram with a right angle or an equiangular quadrilateral, where equiangular denotes that all of its angles are equal.
- A square is a rectangle with four equally long sides.
The perimeter of the rectangle:
[tex]2(l+w)[/tex]
Solution -
Given -
L is 2 feet longer than W and the perimeter is 16.
Let, [tex]w=x[/tex] and [tex]l=x+2[/tex].
[tex]16=2(l+w)\\16=2[(x+2)+x]\\16=2(x+2+x)\\16=4x+4\\16-4=4x\\4x=12\\x=\frac{12}{4} \\x=3\\[/tex]
∴ [tex]x+3=5[/tex]
Therefore, the length is 5 feet and the width is 3 feet.
