Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 58 cm. The length is 1 cm more than 27 times the width. Find the dimensions of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Width is 1 cm
length is 28 cm

Explanation:

If the width is `x` and the length is `27x+1`

`2x+2(27x+1)=58`

`2x+54x+2=58`

`56x=56`

`x=1`

`27 xx 1 +1=28`
