Answer:
[tex]Width=12.5 inch\\Length=17.5 inch[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let, width of the rectangle be 'w'
length of the rectangle=w+5
Perimeter=60 inches
Perimeter of the rectangle=2(Length+width)
[tex]60=2(w+5+w)\\\\60=2(2w+5)[/tex]
Dividing by '2' both sides:
[tex]2w+5=60/2\\\\2w+5=30[/tex]
Subtracting '5' both side:
[tex]2w=30-5\\\\2w=25[/tex]
Dividing by '2' both side:
[tex]w=25/2\\\\w=12.5 inch\\\\Width=12.5 inch[/tex]
[tex]Length=width+5=12.5+5=17.5 inch[/tex]
