Answer:
The width is 10 inches
The length is 30 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a Rectangle
The perimeter of a rectangle of length L and width W is calculated as follows:
P = 2L + 2W
It's given the length of a rectangle is 10 more than twice the width:
L = 2W + 10
Substituting into the formula of the perimeter:
P = 2(2W + 10) + 2W
Operating:
P = 4W + 20 + 2W
P = 6W + 20
It's given this perimeter is 80 inches, thus
6W + 20 = 80
Subtracting 20:
6W = 80 - 20 = 60
Dividing by 6:
W = 60 /6 = 10
Since :
L = 2W + 10
L = 2*10 + 10
L = 30
The width is 10 inches
The length is 30 inches
