Answer:
Length = 17 cm
Width = 8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length be x cm
Therefore, Width = (x - 9) cm
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l +w)
50 = 2[x + (x - 9)]
50/2 = 2x - 9
25 = 2x - 9
25+ 9 = 2x
2x = 34
x = 34/2
x = 17 cm
x - 9 = 17 - 9 = 8 cm
Therefore,
Length = 17 cm
Width = 8 cm
Thus, the dimensions of the rectangle are 17 cm and 8 cm.
