The length of a rectangle is 4
centimeters longer than the width. the
perimeter of the rectangle is 72 centimeters.
find the length and width of the rectangle.

w=16, L=20

Step-by-step explanation:Length(L)=w+4

P=72

P=2L+2w

P=2(w+4)+ 2w

P=2w+8+2w

72=4w+8

4w=72-8

4w=64(/4)

w=16

L=16+4=20

Verification: 16+16+20+20=72

                      32+40=72

                      72=72 (T)

step-by-step explanation:

what is the question? i am guessing you are looking for the area.

to find an area, you have to do length x width.

in this case, it would be 12 ft x 4 ft = 48 sq. ft
