Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 46 m if the with were doubled and on length were increased by 5 their perimeter would be 66 what is the link the original rectangle

Answer 1

18 and 5

Explanation:

if 'x' - is the length and 'y' - the width of the rectangle, then

2(x+y)=46 - perimeter of the original rectangle and 2(2x+(y+5))=66 - the perimeter of the new rectangle.

`\left \{ {{x+y=23} \atop {2x+y=28}} \right. \=> \ \left \{ {{x=5} \atop {y=18}} \right.`

Finally, the length is x=5 and the width is y=18.
