A rectangle whose perimeter is 104 feet has a length that is 12 feet longer than its width what is the area of the rectangle

Width = 20 inches and Length = 32 inches

Area of rectangle = 640 feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of rectangle = 104 feet

Let width of rectangle = x

Length of rectangle = x+12

We need to find area of rectangle.

First we need to find value of x

The formula used to calculate perimeter of rectangle is:

Putting values and finding x

So, Value of x= 20

So, Width x= 20 inches

Length = x+12 = 20+12 = 32 inches

So, Width = 20 inches and Length = 32 inches

Now finding Area

The formula used is:

Putting values and finding area

Area of rectangle = 640 feet²
