Question

The length of a rectangle. Is five feet longer than its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 42 feet find its area.

Answer 1

let width = x metres
therefore length = x+5 metres

No we know perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (l+b)

therefore, 2 ( (x+5)+(x) ) = 42
Solve for x and find length and breadth

Then calculate area :)

Answer 2

thanks
