Answer:
The length and width of the rectangle are 23 m and 7 m respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
P = 2L + 2W
P (perimeter of the rectangle) = 60 m
L (length of the rectangle) = 2 + 3W. W is the width of the rectangle
Therefore, L = 2 + 3W
P = 2L + 2W
60 = 2(2 + 3W) + 2W
60 = 4 + 6W + 2W
60 - 4 = 8W
56 = 8W
W = 56/8 = 7 m
L = 2 + 3W = 2 + 3(7) = 2 + 21 = 23 m
L = 23 m
W = 7 m
