Question

Perimeter = 2 x Length + 2 x Width

The perimeter of a rectangle is 66. If the Length is two more
than three times the Width, what is the length of that rectangle?

Answer 1

• 25.25

Explanation:

Let the width be x

• Then the length is 3x + 2
• Perimeter = 66

Perimeter formula

• P = 2(l +w)

Substitute values

• 66 = 2(3x + 2 + x)
• 33 = 4x + 2
• 4x = 31
• x = 31/4
• x = 7.75

The length is:

• 3*7.75 + 2 = 25.25
