The length of a rectangle is eight more than twice it's width. the perimeter is 96 feet. find the dimensions Variables:

equation:

Solution:

the length and width be 13.33 feet and 34.67 feet respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Let us assume the width be x

So, the length be 2x + 8

As we know that

The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + width)

96 = 2(2x + 8 + x)

96 = 4x + 16 + 2x

96 - 16 = 6x

80 = 6x

x = 80 ÷ 6

= 13.33 feet

So, the length would be

= 2 × 13.33 + 8

= 34.67 feet

Hence, the length and width be 13.33 feet and 34.67 feet respectively
