Let the width be w cm. Then the length is w + 5 cm.
Perimeter: 2(w + (w + 5)) = 24 → 2(2w + 5) = 24 → 2w + 5 = 12 → 2w = 7 → w = 3.5 cm (or 7/2 cm).
Length = w + 5 = 8.5 cm (or 17/2 cm).
Perimeter: 2(w + (w + 5)) = 24 → 2(2w + 5) = 24 → 2w + 5 = 12 → 2w = 7 → w = 3.5 cm (or 7/2 cm).
Length = w + 5 = 8.5 cm (or 17/2 cm).
