Question

the length of a rectangle exceeds the width by 14 cm. perimeter of a rectangle is 160cm. find its length and width.

Answer 1

Let the width of the rectangle = x

Length will be = x + 14

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (L+B) -----------Where L is the length and B is the width

So, 2(x + x + 14) = 160

2x + 14 = 80

2x = 66

x = 33

So width of the rectangle = 33 cm

and length = 33 + 14 = 47 cm
