The length of a rectangle is 2 ft longer than its width.
If the perimeter of the rectangle is 40 ft, find its area.

Answer :

If the length is 2ft longer than it’s width
Let’s assume width as X and so the length will be X+2
Perimeter=40ft
Putting the values into a equation, we get,
X+2+X=40
=2X+2=40
=2X=38
=X=19
Therefore
Length =X+2=19+2
=21ft
Width=X=19ft
Area of rectangle =lxb
= 21x19
3992ft
HOPE IT WAS HELPFUL :)
