Question 1078699: What is the width if the length is 95 and perimeter is 338
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
perimeter is equal to 2 * length + 2 * width
2 * length = 2 * 95 = 190
338 - 190 = 148
148 / 2 = 74
length is 74 and width is 95
2 * length + 2 * width = 190 + 148 = 338
this all stems from the following equation:
P = 2L + 2W
P = perimeters
L = length
W = wisth.
since you know the length and the perimeters, you want tos solve this equation for width.
you will get W = (P - 2L) / 2
since P = 338 and L = 95, this equation becomes:
W = (338 - 2 * 95) / 2
simplify to get:
W = (338 - 190) / 2
simplify further to get:
W = 148/2
solve for W to get W = 74
