The length of a rectangle is 5 yd longer than its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 74 yd, find its length and width.

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

length = width + 5

perimeter = 2×length + 2×width = 74

2×(width + 5) + 2×width = 74

2×width + 10 + 2×width = 74

4×width = 64

width = 16 yd

length = width + 5 = 16 + 5 = 21 yd
