The length of a rectangle is 2 cm more than the width. The perimeter is 20 cm. Find the length and width

length = 7

width = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

the rectangle has four sides. All the sides added together give the 20 cm perimeter.

first find out the the approximate measurement of one side.

20:4 = 5 cm

now you need to do addition and subtraction.

the width is 2cm less than the length

therefore the width = 5 - 2 = 3cm

the length is 2cm more

therefore the length = 5 + 2 = 7 cm

7cm+7cm + (3cm * 2) = 20 cm.
