The length of a rectangle is 2 centimeters longer than its width.
If the perimeter of the rectangle is 64 centimeters, find its length and width.

Answer :

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the width = w.

Then, the length of the length is w + 2.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 2*length + 2*width.

Therefore, 2*(w+2) + 2*w = 64

2w + 4 + 2w = 64

4w + 4 = 64

4w = 60

w = 15
