Tracy needs to find the length and width of the equiptment storage room where she works. the room is 2 meters long than it is wide. its perimeter is 24 meters. find the width in meters

Rectangle:

P = 2 (L+W) but length is 2 meters longer than wide

then L = W + 2, So

P = 2 (L + W)

24 = 2 (W+2+W)

24 = 2 (2 + 2W)

24 = 4 + 4W

So 4W = 24 - 4 = 20

W = 20/4 = 5, L = 5+2 = 7

Double check

24 = 2 * (5+7) = 2 * 12 = 24
