Recall that the perimeter of a rectangle is P=2(W+L), where W is the width and L is the length. The length of a rectangle is 23 feet more than the width. If the perimeter is 70 feet, then what is the length of the rectangle, in feet?

Answer :

Answer:

Length = 6 + 23 = 29 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = x

Length = x + 23

2x + 2(x+23) = 70

2x + 2x + 46 = 70

4x = 70-46

x = 24/4

x = 6
