Question

The length of a rectangle is 2cm more than twice its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 28cm. Find the width of the rectangle.

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

Of a rectangle,

Let the width=x

the length=2x+2

the perimeter=28

2(x)+2(2x+2)=28

2x+4x+4=28

6x=28-4

6x=24

x=24/6

x=4

the width of a rectangle=4
