Answer:
Width: 4 in.
Length: 6in.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, so let's say that the width is w.
This means that because the length is 2 in. longer than the width, it would be w + 2.
So let's put that into an equation:
28 = 2(w + 2w + 2)
Now, we have to distribute:
28 = 2w + 4w + 4
Now we subtract 4 from both sides:
24 = 2w + 4w
Now we add the like terms:
24 = 6w
So, now we just divide by 6 on both sides.
w = 4
So the width is 4 in.
And because the length is plus another 2 in. , we add 2 to get 6 in.
Hope this helps :)
