Perimeter = 46 inches
Write an inequality or equation, then solve.


Sagot :

Answer:

Let the width of the Rectangle be x inches

Then, length is (3x-5) inches

Perimeter of the Rectangle= 46 inches (given)

According to the above problem,

Equation :---- Perimeter=2(length+breadth)

2{(3x-5)+x}=46

2(4x-5)=46

(4x-5)=46/2=23

4x=(23+5)=28

x=28/4

x=7

So, length of the Rectangle is {(3×7)-5}=16 inches

and width is= 7 inches

Answer:
