Question

The patio is 64 feet long. the width is 12 feet and the length is (x+6). What is the length of the patio 

Answer 1

Assuming it is a rectangle:

 

Perimeter = 2 * length + 2 * width

 

64 =  2 * (x+6) + 2 * 12

 

64 = 2 * (x+6) + 24

 

40 = 2 * (x + 6)

 

20 = x + 6

 

x=14

 

The length is 20.

The width is 12
