The length of a rectangle is 5 centimeters greater than the width. The perimeter is 70 centimeters.

What is the length?

What is the width?

2L + 2W = 70

2(W + 5) + 2W = 70

2W + 10 + 2W = 70

4W = 60

W = ?

How woould you get the lengh

i got it 20! thanks

Yes, the length is 20 cm.

You're welcome.

To find the length and width, we can set up a system of equations based on the information given.

Let's assume that the length of the rectangle is L and the width is W.

Based on the first piece of information, we know that the length is 5 centimeters greater than the width, so we can write the following equation:

L = W + 5 (Equation 1)

The second piece of information tells us that the perimeter of the rectangle is 70 centimeters. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

Perimeter = 2L + 2W

Substituting the value of L from Equation 1 into this formula, we get:

70 = 2(W + 5) + 2W
70 = 2W + 10 + 2W
70 = 4W + 10

Simplifying the equation further:

4W = 70 - 10
4W = 60
W = 60/4
W = 15

So, the width of the rectangle is 15 centimeters.

Now we can substitute this value of W back into Equation 1 to find the length:

L = 15 + 5
L = 20

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 20 centimeters.

So, the length is 20 centimeters and the width is 15 centimeters.
