Question

The length of a rectangle is 8 greater than the width. The perimeter is 88cm find the dimensions

Answer 1

here's the answer:

let's pot x as width and 8+x as length

`2(x + 8 + x) = 88 \\ 2x + 16 + 2x = 88 \\ 4x = 88 - 16 = 72\\ x = (72)/(4) = 18`
the width is 18


so the length will be

18+ 8= 26



good luck
