Question:
the perimeter of a rectangle can be found by using the formula p= 2l+ 2w where l is the length and w is the width of a rectangle. what is the width of a rectangle with a perimeter of 50 meters and a length of 16 meters?
Answer:
P = 2l+ 2w,------------------(1)
where l is the length and w is the width of a rectangle.
Here given that,
Perimeter, P = 50 meters
Length, l = 16 meters.
Plug these values in the given formula,
==> 50 = 2(16)+ 2w
==> 50 = 32 + 2w
Subtract 32 from both sides...
==> 50 - 32 = 32 + 2w - 32
==> 18 = 2w
Divide both sides by 2
==>
==>
That is width = 9 meters...
Hope you found the explanation useful.
