Answer: Length = 15, Width = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
L = length
W = width
L = W+ 3
perimeter = 2L + 2W
54 = 2(W+3) + 2W
54 = 2W + 6 + 2W
54 = 4W + 6
54 - 6 = 4W
48 = 4W
W = [tex]\frac{48}{4}[/tex]
W = 12
now to find the length, plug the width into the equation L = W + 3
length:
L = W+3
L=12 +3
L = 15
