Answer:
length = 28 cm
width = 12 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w
where
l is the length
w is the width
From the question
Perimeter = 80cm
The length is 4 inches longer than twice the width is written as
l = 4 + 2w
Substitute this into the formula and solve for the width
That's
80 = 2( 4 + 2w) + 2w
80 = 8 + 4w + 2w
6w = 80 - 8
6w = 72
Divide both sides by 6
w = 12 cm
Substitute w = 12 cm into l = 4 + 2w
That's
l = 4 + 2(12)
l = 4 + 24
l = 28cm
Therefore
length = 28 cm
width = 12 cm
Hope this helps you
