Question

The length of a rectangle is 2 inches less than twice it’s width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 74 inches, what is the area of the rectangle?

Answer 1

341.25in²

Explanation:

Width=x

Length=x+2

X+x+x+2+x+2=74

4x+4=74

4x=70

x=17.5

width=x=17.5

length=x+2=19.5

A=LW

A=17.5*19.5

A=341.25in²
