The length of a rectangle is 2 feet more than twice the width. The perimeter is 34 feet. Find the length and width of the rectangle.

Question

 Just want to see all the steps in coming to the solution.

Answer 1

A = 2l + 2w

l = 2w + 2

 

2(2w + 2) + 2w = 34

4w + 4 + 2w = 34

6w = 30

w = 5

 

l = 2(5) + 2 = 12
