Question Description
The length of a rectangle is 8cm more than its width. The perimeter is 76 cm. find the dimensions of the rectangle ** Step by step process

Final Answer

Since , perimeter of rectangle is P=2(l+w)
Let, the width is x cm then length must be x+8
Now, put these values in P=2(l+w)
or,76=2((x+8)+x)
or,76=2(2x+8)
or,76=4x+16
or,76-16=4x
or,60=4x
or,x=15 means width =15cm & length=15+8=23cm
Therefore, dimension, length=23cm & width=15cm
