Answer 1

The key thing here is to use the perimeter formula and setup an equation

Answer 2

Remember the formula for perimeter of rectangle?

Answer 3

Let width = x
Let length = x + 2
The formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is given to be:
P = 2L + 2W
The perimeter is 24ft.
24 = 2(x + 2) + 2(x)
24= 2x + 4 + 2x
24 = 4x + 4
24 - 4= 4x
20 = 4x
20/4 = x
5 = x


so now that we know the width is 5, we multiply by2 to get the length which would give us 10

width:5
length:10

Answer 4

oops I mean add by 2!! sorry the length is 7
