\[l=w+28\] and \[2l+2w=208\] so \[l+w=104\] replace l by w+28 get \[w+28+w=108\] \[2w+28=104\] \[2w=76\] \[w=38\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
width is 38, length is 38+28=66
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how did you get 104?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh i had \[2l+2w=208\] because the perimeter is twice the length plus twice the width. then to make life simpler i divided everything by 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh Okay thank you !!!
