The perimeter of a rectangle is 62 cm. the length of the rectangle is 1cm more than twice the width. find the dimensions of the rectangle

P = Perimeter

L = Length

W = Width

L = 1 + 2W

W = W

Rectangle has 4 sides

2 (1 + 2W) + 2W = 62

Distribute

2 + 4W + 2W = 62

Simply

2 + 6W = 62

Solve for W

6W = 60

W = 10

Plug 10 in for W in the Length formula to find Length

L = 1 + 2 (10)

L = 1 + 20

L = 21

Check if wanted**

2 (L) + 2 (W) = 62

2 (21) + 2 (10) = 62

42 + 20 = 62

62 = 62
