The perimeter of a rectangle is 30m. The length of the rectangle is
3 m more than twice the width. Find
the dimensions of the rectangle
a. 3m x 12m
b 4m x 11m
c 8m x 7m
d 6m x 9m

Equation for Perimeter of a rectangle: Perimeter = 2W + 2L

Defining the variables, letWidth = xLength = 2x+3 (3 more than twice the width)Plugging everything into the equation30= 2(x) + 2(2x+3) using the distributive property,30=2x+4x+6 combining like terms30=6x+6 subtracting 6 from both sides,24=6x divide both sides by 64=x This means that the width is 4 m.To get the length, use the expression L=2x+3 and plug in x = 4 that was already solved forL=2(4)+3L=8+3 = 11 mSo the dimensions of the rectangle are width is 4 m and length is 11 m.
