The rectangle shown has a perimeter of 58 cm and the given area. Its length is 4 more than four times its width. The area of the rectangle is 120 cm2. Write and solve a system of equations to find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answer: w=5
Step-by-step explanation:
58=l+l+w+w
l=4w+4
58=(4w+4)+(4x+4)+w+w
58=8w+8+w+w
58=10w+8
50=10w
5=w
w=5
l=4w+4
l=4(5)+4
l=20+4
l=24
check:
w=5, l=24,
5*24=120
our answer is correct
Answer:
The length of the rectangle is 24cm and the width of the rectangle is 5cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Length=4+4w
Perimeter=L+W+L+W
P=4+4w+w+4+4w+w
P=10w+8
Now that we have our equation we can solve it. Since the perimeter is 58cm, you can switch the letter P for 58.
58=10w+8
Then subtact 8 from both sides.
50=10w
Then divide both sides by 10.
5=w
Now we know that the width is 5cm, but we still have to solve for length.
L=4+4w
Trade the w for 5 because the width is 5cm.
L=4+4x5
L=4+20
L=24
The length is 24cm.
