Question 38405: If the perimeter of a rectangle is 26 ft and the width is 7 ft, find its length. [Hint: The perimeter of a rectangle is given by P = 2L + 2W.] Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Using P = 2L + 2W, plug in what you know and solve for what you don't know...
26 = 2L + 2(7)
26 = 2L + 14
12 = 2L
L = 6 ft
