Question 15640: Please help me with this problemThe perimeter of a retangle is 240 in . If the length is 85 in find the width Answer by pwac(253) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perimeter of rectangle is found by 2l+2w.Two lengths added to two widths.
2l=2x85=170inches in this case. Subtract this from perimeter
240-170=70inches which is equal to two widths so divide by 2
70/2=35inches
