Suppose width is x metres. Then length is x+5 metres.

Now, perimeter = 2*(width + length)

so 54 = 2*[x + (x+5)] = 2*(2x + 5)

So 27 = 2x + 5 => 22 = 2x => x = 11 and so x+5 = 16.

So the length and width are 16 and 11 metres, respectively.

What is the perimeter of a rectangle that is 1.6 meters long and 0.8 meters wide?

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 x (length + width) = 2 x (1.6 + 0.8) = 2 x 2.4 = 4.8 meters


The perimeter of a rectangle is 72m the width of the rectangle is 16m what is the area of the rectangle?

To find the area of a rectangle, you need to know the formula: Area = length x width. Given that the perimeter is 72m and the width is 16m, we can calculate the length by using the formula for perimeter of a rectangle: Perimeter = 2(length + width). Substituting the values we have, 72 = 2(length + 16), which simplifies to length + 16 = 36. Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 20m. Finally, the area of the rectangle is 20m x 16m = 320 square meters.


What is the perimeter of a rectangular lot with a length of 5.5 m and a width of 3.25?

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add up the lengths of all its sides. In this case, the length is 5.5 meters and the width is 3.25 meters. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(length + width). Therefore, the perimeter of this rectangular lot would be P = 2(5.5 + 3.25) = 2(8.75) = 17.5 meters.


What is the perimeter of a rectangle that has a length 12 m and width 3 m?

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding all four sides together. In this case, the length is 12m and the width is 3m. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(length) + 2(width). Therefore, the perimeter of this rectangle would be P = 2(12m) + 2(3m) = 24m + 6m = 30 meters.


What is width of rectangle with length 40 meters and perimeter 120 meters?

To find the perimeter of the rectangle you add up all the sides. There are two lengths and widths for every rectangle, so you know the length is 40 meters x 2 = 80 meters. Perimeter is the total length of all the sides so you just minus 120 from the two lengths which is 80. So the width is 40, divide 2 (2 widths) = 20 meters. Width = 20 meters OR if they're asking for widthS then it'll be 40 meters, but they're not.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 50 meters and its length is 12 meters. What is the width of the rectangle?

The width of the rectangle is 13 meters. The perimeter of the rectangle is 50 meters, and its length is 12 meters. The 50 meters is 2 times the length plus 2 times the width. With a length of 12 meters, twice that is 24 meters. That leaves 50 meters - 24 meters for twice the width. And 50 - 24 = 26, which is twice the width. The 26 meters divided by 2 = 13 meters, which is the width of the rectangle.
