a rectangle shed is built with a lengh 6 feet greater than the width. If the perimeter is 112 feet,find the lengh & width of the shed

Answer 1

L=6+W

perimeter = 112 = 2(L+W) = 2(6+W+W) = 12 + 4W

112 = 12+ 4W

4W = 100

W = 25

L= 6+25=31

25 x 31 feet

check the answer

Perimeter is 2(L+W) = 2(25+31) = 2(56) = 112 feet
