The length of a rectangle is five meters less than twice the width. The perimeter is 44 meters. Find the length and width (in meters).
The width of the rectangle is 0.7 meters less than the length. The perimeter of a rectangle is 44.6 meters. Find the dimensions of the rectangle (in meters).
The width of a rectangle is four meters less than the length. The perimeter is 52 meters. Find the length and width (in meters).
+658 The following hints are not the best way to do it, but the best way to understand it.
For the first problem:
Consider:
Perimeter = 2L + 2W
Set Up:
"The length of a rectangle is five meters less than twice the width"
L = 2W - 5
Equation: 44 = 2L + 2W
Now solve!
Using this method, you can solve the rest.
