Since the length exceeds the width by 39 inches, if x is the width, then you can express the length as x + 39. Now, use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, replacing known values: perimeter = 2(length + width) 234 = 2(x + 39 + x) Solving this for "x" will result in the width; add 39 to get the length.
The perimeter is 60 inches
28 inches
Its length is 18 inches
Do-it-in-your-head method:Length + width is half the perimeter, ie 76 inches;76 - 36 = 40;Half of 40 is 20: this is the width;20 + 36 = 56: this is the length.Job done.
