Let x = length and y = width Then x + y = 19 Therefore x = 19 - y Also x = 2y - 1 (the length is 1 less than twice the width) So as x = x then 19 - y = 2y - 1 Therefore 3y = 20 which makes y = 6.666667 inches (width) and x = 19 - 6.666667 = 12.333333 inches (length) Twice the width would be 2 x 6.666667 = 13.3333333 inches and 1 less will be 12.3333333 inches (as above)
x=y is the diagonal line which runs through 0,0 so all you have to do is reflect the triangle on the diagonal line. hop that helps :)
The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to 2*length + 2* width. In this case, we will say 2x + 2y = p = 48. Since the length is equal to 3 times the width, the equation now becomes p = 6*y + 2*y, or just p = 8y. Now since p =48, y must equal 6. And since the length is three times the width (y), the length is 18.
x= 3 and y= 8
