The length of a rectangle is 4 m longer than its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 60 m, find its length and width

Length=17

Width=13

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for calculating the perimeter of a rectangle is 2 (l+w)

L=length

W=width

But this value is not given specifically in the question, so we will have to interpret the question

So let solve this

Let the length of the rectangle be x

The width is 4m longer than the length, 4+x

So let's solve

2 (x+4+x) = 60

2 (2x+4) = 60

4x+8=60

Substrate 8 from both sides

4x=52

Let's make x the subject of formula by dividing both sides by 4

x=13

So the width is 13

Let's calculate the length

4+x

4+13

17

Length=17

Width=13
