First, perimeter is the sum of two lengths and two widths, lets refer to them as Long and Short
2L + 2S = 56
Next describe the difference in the sides
2S + 1 = L
Lets substitute 2S + 1 for L and go from there.
Improved answer:
Let the length be 2x+1 and the width be x:
2(2x+1+x) = 56
4x+2+2x = 56
4x+2x = 56-2
6x = 54
Divide both sides by 6 to find the value of x:
x = 9
Therefore: length = 19 feet and width = 9 feet
It is: 12 units in length
a rectangle has a perimeter of 72m. If the length is 20 m longer than the width find its dimensions?
the width equals 14 cm. and the length equals 31 cm.
a rectangle as a longer side because there's 48 inches for a rectangle but there's only 45 inches for a triangle. a rectangle as a longer side because there's 48 inches for a rectangle but there's only 45 inches for a triangle.
Yes, there is. The area of a rectangle sets a lower limit on its perimeter.If the area is A, then the quadrilateral shape with the smallest perimeter has sides of length sqrt(A). Therefore the minimum perimeter is 4*sqrt(A). The perimeter can have any value grater than that since the area of the rectangle can be maintained while making it thinner and longer and thus increasing its perimeter with out any upper limit.

i don't know what length of rectangle is 7 cm longer than the width the perimeter of the rectangle is 46 cm .what is the length of the of the rectangle ?
21cm3
Perimeter of a rectangle is 2(l+b).Area of rectangle is 216 centimeter square.
the width equals 14 cm. and the length equals 31 cm.
Assuming that this is a rectangle, you know that the length (longer side) would be 7cm, and the width (shorter side) would be 6cm. The formula for perimeter is, 2(length) + 2(width) = Perimeter Now we can plug in our numbers, 2(7cm) + 2(6cm) = 14cm + 12cm = 26cm The perimeter would be 26cm, assuming that this is a rectangle ^^
A rectangle with a perimeter of 48 and 1 side equal to 5 would have its other sides lengths of 5, 19, 19. Such a rectangle would have an area of 95 sq/m. Your question is somewhat strange, as the "length" of a rectangle generally refers to the longer side - in this case the length would be 19 and the width 5.
shorter side = 10 longer side = 19
Length is 11 and width is 7 and so 11 times 7 = 77 square cm
If the rectangle is 12 feet long and has a perimeter of 40, then the height must be 8. If it is made 6 feet longer, it will have a length of 18 and a height of 8. The new area will be 144.
