Answer:
length = 104/3 ft
width = 40/3 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Variables:
L = length
w = width
Set up equations:
- L = 8 + 2w
- 2L + 2w = 96
Substitute L with the first bullet point equation:
2L + 2w = 96
2(8 + 2w) + 2w = 96
16 + 4w + 2w = 96
16 + 6w = 96
6w = 80
w = 40/3 ft
Find L now that you have the value of the width:
L = 8 + 2w
L = 8 + 2(40/3)
L = 8 + 80/3
L = 104/3 ft
Final Values:
length = 104/3 ft
width = 40/3 ft
