My instructor assigned us to solve length and width of a rectangle.
Given : 120m = PERIMETER
Find : Length and width

let l = length ; let w = width

120m = 2L + 2W = (120m=2L+2W) / 2 = 60m = L + W (after this I am stuck )
how to know the measurement of length and width?

There's not enough information, to determine specific measurements for L and W.

Please check that you posted all given information about the rectangle's dimensions.

Could be:

59 × 1
58 × 2
57 × 3
56 × 4
55 × 5
and so on …

There are more possibilities, if you consider measurements that are not Whole numbers. :cool:
