Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 124 m. The length is 5 m more than twice the width. Find the dimensions

Answer 1

124 = 2m + 2.5m

Answer 2

124= 12m m=10,3

Answer 3

P = 2L + 2W
124m = 2L + 2W
62m = L + W
L = W + 5
62m = (W + 5) + W
57m = 2W
W = 28.5

so L must be 33.5m

Answer 4

dimensions: m 10,3 M= 51,6

Answer 5

M = 5.m as he say

Answer 6

Wow...some of those answers make no sense :)

Answer 7

I need to know the length and the width..??

Answer 8

I wrote it.

Answer 9

lenght = 51,6 width = 10,3

Answer 10

62 length and 28.5 width?

Answer 11

stormfire1 is right

Answer 12

Think about the question...none of those answers can be right. As I wrote, the width is 28.5m and the length is 33.5m

Answer 13

wait a tick...

Answer 14

disregard...I didn't see the "5m more than twice the width"...my bad

Answer 15

<sheepish>

Answer 16

lol

Answer 17

P = 2L + 2W
124m = 2L + 2W
62m = L + W
L = 2W + 5
62m = (2W+5) + W
57m = 3W
W = 19
L = 43

Answer 18

Maybe I'll read it a bit more carefully next time :)

Answer 19

for some reason my mind skipped right past the word "twice"

Answer 20

its okay.. at least you know how to do algebra :)

Answer 21

yea, I just can't read :P
