A table top is rectangular. The table's length is 60 cm more than it's width. The perimeter of the table is
240 cm. Find the length and width of the table.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]Width= 30 cm[/tex]

[tex]Length=90 cm[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangular table = 'W' cm

Length of the rectangular table = W+60

Perimeter of the table = 240 cm

Perimeter of a rectangle=[tex]2(Length+Width)[/tex]

                  [tex]240 = 2((W+60)+W)[/tex]

                       [tex]240= 2(2W+60)\\120=2W+60\\120-60=2W\\2W=60\\W=30[/tex]

[tex]Width= 30 cm[/tex]

[tex]Length=W+60= 30+60= 90 cm[/tex]

Answer:

length = 90cm

width = 30cm

Step-by-step explanation:

width: w

length: w+60

Perimeter = 2(width + length)

2(w + w+60) = 240

2w + 60 = 120

2w = 60

w = 30 cm

length: 30+60 = 90 cm
