The length of a rectangle is 5 more than the width. The perimeter is 98. What is the length, width and area of the rectangle? Explain

Width=22, Length=27, Area= 594

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width if the rectangle be represented by x

If the length is 5 more than the width

Length =x+5

The perimeter is given by

2(x)+2(x+5)=98

2x+2x+10=98

4x=88

x=22

Width=22

Length=27

Area= 22*27=594

Sonji chose pieces that can be used to construct a triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a triangle should follow this rule:

The sum of any two of its sides should be greater than the other side.

Notice Don's wires measure does not follow that rule because 3+5=8  is smaller than the other side length: 12

Similarly Margo's wires measure does not follow the rule since 6+8=14 it is not greater than the other side whose length is 14

Sonji's wires measure  follows the rule since:

12+8=20 is greater than 17

12+17 = 29 is greater than 8

17+8 = 25 is greater than 12

Liam's wires measure does not follow the rule either because 16+8= 24 is smaller than 27.

Therefore it is Sonji who chose pieces that can be used to construct a triangle
