The length of a postage stamp is 4 1/4 millimeters longer than its width. The perimeter of the stamp is 124 1/2 millimeters. Write and equation that represents the situation

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]124\frac{1}{2}  = 2( k + (k+ 4\frac{1}{4}))[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle = k millimeters

So, the Length of the stamp = ([tex] k + 4\frac{1}{4}[/tex]) millimeters

Perimeter of the stamp = [tex]124\frac{1}{2}[/tex] millimeters

Now, as we know the Perimeter of a Rectangle =  2(Length  + Width)

So, according to the question:

[tex]124\frac{1}{2}  = 2( k + (k+ 4\frac{1}{4}))[/tex]

Hence, this equation represents the given situation accordingly.
