the length of a rectangle is three cm greater than its width. the perimeter is 24cm. what are the dementions of the rectangle?

Respuesta :

l=w+3
24= 2w+2l

Substitute for l
24= 2w+2(w+3)
24= 2w+2w+6
24= 4w+6
18=4w
4.5=w

Plug in the w value
l=(4.5)+3
l=7.5

Final answer: Length-7.5, Width-4.5
L=9
W=3
