The width of a rectangle is 2 3/8 inches. The rectangle is 1 3/4 inches longer than it is wide Find the Length of the rectangle and preimeter of the rectangle

Respuesta :

Answer:

We need to find length and width.  To find two unknowns we need two equations.

P = 2L + 2W = 34

L = W + 3

34 = 2(W + 3) + 2W

34 = 2W + 6 + 2W

28 = 4W

W = 7

L = 7 + 3 = 10

The length is 10 inches and the width is 7 inches.
