Short Answer

Expert verified

The length of the rectangle is 13 inches and the width is 4 inches.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information 

  • The perimeter of a rectangle is 34 inches.
  • The length of the rectangle is 5 inches more than two times the width.
02

Step 2. Define the Variables

  • Let the width of the rectangle is w inches.
  • So, the length of the rectangle will be2w+5 inches.
03

Step 3. Use the Perimeter Formula

  • Substitute P=34and l=2w+5into the formula of the perimeter of a rectangle, P=2l+2wand solve to find the unknown variable.
  • 34=22w+5+2w34=6w+106w=24w=4
  • So, the width of the rectangle is 24 inches.
04

Step 4. Find the Length

  • Substitute w=4into l=2w+5and solve to find the length.

l=2脳4+5=8+5=13

  • So, the length is 13 inches.
05

Step 5. Conclusion

The length of the rectangle is 13 inches and the width is 4 inches.
