Question

The length of a rectangle is 5yd longer than its width.

Answer 2

@BGrg007 your answer was wrong..

Answer 3

ahh sorry about that. that's the length. Area is 35 lol

Answer 4

wrong again @BGrg007

Answer 5

A = 84

Answer 6

Let x = width of the rectangle
x+5 = length of the rectangle

Perimeter = 2(W) + 2(L) = 38
2(x) + 2(x+5) = 38
2x + 2x + 10 = 38
4x + 10 = 38



4x = 28
x= 7 yd Width
x+5 = 12 yd Length


Area = L*W = 12yd * 7 yd = ----------sq cm.

Answer 7

84 was right!

Answer 8

:D

Answer 9

2w+2(w+5)=38
2w+5=19
w=7 yd
L=12
area=12 x 7=84 yd^2

Answer 10

i was doing it in my head. lol will use paper next time. sorry about the wrong info..twice *_*
