Answer:
In a square, the sum of the lengths of three sides is 48 and in a rectangle
the difference between a length and a width is 7 in.
If a width of the rectangle is the same as a side of the square, how long is a length of the rectangle?
:
Let s = side of the square and the width of the rectangle
:
"In a square, the sum of the lengths of three sides is 48"
3s = 48
s = 48/3
s = 16
:
" in a rectangle the difference between a length and a width is 7 in."
L = s + 7
L = 16 + 7
L = 23 is the length of the rectangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 23
Step-by-step explanation: The length of one side of the square must be 48 / 3 = 16
And in the rectangle we have that
L - W = 7
So
L - 16 = 7 add 16 to both sides
L = 23
