the length of one side of a rectangle is p cm and width is 3(p-2) cm the perimeter is 44 cm find the length and width of rectangle

Length = 7cm, Width = 15cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = p

Width = 3(p-2)

          = 3p-6

Perimeter = length + width + length + width

                = p + 3p-6 + p + 3p-6

                = 8p-12

8p - 12 = 44

Isolate 8p.

8p = 44+12

    = 56

Find p.

p = 56 ÷ 8

p = 7

Length = 7cm

Width = 3(7)-6

          = 21-6

          = 15cm

after simplifying it i got: -36.25 as my answer. hope that !

dont think so
