dimensions:
l = 2 cm
w = 1 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
P (perimeter) = 6 cm
w (width) = x cm
l (length) = x+1 cm
Solution:
P = 2l + 2w
6 cm = 2(x+1 cm) + 2(x cm)
6 cm = (2x+2 cm) + (2x cm)
6 cm = 2x+2+2x cm
6 cm = 4x+2 cm
6-2 cm = 4x+2-2 cm
4 cm = 4x cm
(4 cm = 4x cm) ÷ 4
1 cm = x cm
x = 1 cm
w = 1 cm
length = x+1 cm
l = (1) + 1 cm
l = 1+1 cm
l = 2 cm
