Question
Answer:
Answer:Length of the rectangle is [tex]18.85\ inches[/tex],and the width of the rectangle is [tex]16.35\ inches[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:Let the width of the rectangle be [tex]x[/tex] inchesThen The length of the rectangle will be [tex]x+2.5[/tex] inchesSo perimeter [tex]=2(length + width)[/tex]Plugging the values:⇒ [tex]2(x+x+2.5)=75.4[/tex]⇒ [tex]2(2x+2.5)=75.4[/tex]⇒ [tex]4x+10=75.4[/tex]   Subtracting [tex]10[/tex] from both sides.⇒ [tex]4x=65.4[/tex]⇒ [tex]x=\frac{65.4}{4}=16.35\ inches[/tex]   So the width of the rectangle is [tex]16.35\ inches[/tex]    And the length of the rectangle is [tex]18.85\ inches[/tex]
