Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 32 inches. If the width is 4 inches less than the length, find the dimensions of the rectangle

Answer 1

P = 2(L + W)

W = L - 4 (in inches)

P = 32 inches

32 = 2[L + (L - 4)]

Solve for L, then get L - 4. You should be able to finish from here. The answers will be in inches.
