The length of a rectangle is 5 more than 3 times its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 58 in. What is the length of the rectangle?

A. 23 in.

B. 29 in.

C. 32 in.

D. 35 in.

The correct answer is option A. 23 in

Step-by-step explanation:

It us given that, the length of a rectangle is 5 more than 3 times its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 58 in.

To find the length of rectangle

Let 'x' be the width of rectangle.

Length = 3x + 5

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (length + width)

58 = 2 (3x + 5 + x)

58 = 2 (4x + 5)

29 = 4x + 5

4x = 29 - 5

4x = 24

x = 24/4 = 6

Therefore length of rectangle = 3x + 5

= 3*6 + 5 = 23 in

The correct answer is option A. 23 in
