2. Suppose that the length of a certain rectangle is 2𝑐𝑚 more than three times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 56𝑐𝑚2 .
Find its perimeter.
3. A developer owns a piece of land enclosed on three sides by streets, giving it the shape of a right triangle. The hypotenuse is 8
meters longer than the longer leg, and the shorter leg is 9 meters shorter than the hypotenuse. Find the lengths of the three
sides of the property.
4. It takes James 2 hours longer to do a certain job than it takes Philip. They worked together for 3 hours; then Philip left and
James finished the job for one more hour. How long would it take each of them to do the job alone?
5. The faucet alone can fill the sink in 2 minutes more than a drain can empty it. If it takes 24 minutes to empty the tank, how long
will it take the drain to empty the tank when the faucet is closed?
6. The area of a right triangle is 39𝑓𝑡 2 . The length of the base is 1 ft more than twice the altitude. Find the length of the base and
the altitude.
7. A sink can be filled from the faucet 2 minutes longer than it can be drained. If the sink is empty and both the faucet and drain
1
are open, the sink can be filled in 7 minutes. How long will it take the faucet to fill the sink?

8. A plane flying with the wind travels 800 miles in 1 hour less than it takes against the wind to cover the same distance. How
long does it take the plane to travel the given distance if the wind has a rate of 20 mph?
9. Dan can finish typing a 1000-word paragraph in 6 hours less than Carol can accomplish the same job. Working together, they
can finish the job in 4 hours. How long will it take each of them to finish typing the paragraph?

10. Jared jogs for 10 kilometers and then walks another 10 kilometers. He jogs 2 kph faster than he walks and the entire distance
2
of 20 kilometers takes 6 hours. Find the rate that he walks and the rate that he jogs.
