The length of the rectangle is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Width and length are odd integer and perimeter of rectangle is 48 cm.
Formula used: Perimeter of a rectangle =
Calculation:
Let the width (first odd integer) =
According to problem
The length (Second odd consecutive integer) =
Substituting width w =
Switching sides
Combine like terms
Distribute 2 over
Subtract 4 on both sides
Divide both sides by 4
Therefore, the width of the rectangle =
And the length of rectangle =
