Answer:
width of the rectangle=39 cm
length of the rectangle=41 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Determine the dimensions of the rectangle
let the width=w
length=w+2
Step 2: Determine the perimeter of the rectangle
P=2(L+W)
where;
P=perimeter of the rectangle
L=length of the rectangle
W=width of the rectangle
In our case;
P=160 cm
L=w+2
W=w
replacing;
2(w+w+2)=160
2(2 w+2)=160
4 w+4=160
4 w=160-4=156
4 w=156
w=156/4=39
width=39 cm
length=39+2=41 cm
