If the perimeter of a rectangular closet is 26 feet. If the length is increased by 4 feet and the width is increased by 3 feet the area of the closet will be 96 square feet. Find the dimensions?

You need to write two equations with two variables each, for the two facts. Remembering that the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all the sides:Write an equation for the perimeter of the original rectangle:perimeter = 2(length + width)26 = 2(l+w) (equation 1)Write an equation for the area of the increased rectangle:A = length x widthA = (l+4)(w+3) (equation 2)Solve the two equations simultaneously; and you'll get the width and length of the original rectangle.


Do you add length plus width to get perimeter?

It depends on the shape, but I'm assuming you mean a square or rectangle. If it is not this shape, edit the question. In this equation L=Length W=Width So, to get the perimeter, you would use this equation: 2L+2W= Perimeter
