The length of a rectangle is 12 inches longer than the width. Find the length and width if the perimeter is 184 inches.

Respuesta :

Perimeter = 2l + 2w

Divide 184 by 4

184/4 = 46

Subtract by 6

46 - 6 = 40

Add by 6

46 + 6 = 52

The length is 52, and the width is 40.

We can verify by plugging these values into the original equation.

52*2 + 40*2 = 184
