Find the length of a rectangular lot that has a perimeter of 594 inches if the length is 3 inches lass than twice the width

A) 2L + 2W = 594
B) L = 2W +3

B) L -2W = 3 Then adding to A
A) 2L + 2W = 594
3L = 597
L = 199

2W = L+3
W = (L + 3)/2
W = 100

Double Check
2W + 2L = 594 Perimeter

The length of a rectangular lot that has a perimeter of 594 inches is 193 inches

The formula for calculating the perimeter of the rectangular lot is expressed as:

P = 2(L+W)

L is the length

W is the width

If the length is 3 inches less than twice the width, then;

l = 2w - 3

Substitute the length and the perimeter into the formula;

594 = 2(2w-3+w)

297 = 3w - 3

3w = 294

w = 98 inches

Get the lenght of the rectangular lot

l = 2w - 3

l = 2(98) - 3

l = 193 inches

Hence the length of a rectangular lot that has a perimeter of 594 inches is 193 inches
