The length of a rectangle is 16 inches longer than its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is is 540 inches, what is the length in inches

Respuesta :

Try by using the 5-D process
W=width, W+16=length
2w + 2(w+16) = 540in
2w + 2w + 32 = 540in
Subtract 32 from both sides
Combine like with like
4w = 508in
Divide by 4 on both sides
W=127in.
