Answer:
- length: 28.75 cm
- width: 91.25 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L represent the length of the rectangle. Then the width is W=5+3L, and the perimeter is ...
P = 2(L+W)
240 = 2(L +(5 +3L))
120 = 5 +4L
115 = 4L
115/4 = L = 28.75 . . . . cm
W = 5+3L = 5 +3(28.75) = 91.25 . . . . cm
The length and width of the rectangle are 28.75 cm and 91.25 cm.
