Question 700053: A rectangle has a length of 15 cm and a perimeter of 72 cm.
Which equation could be used to find the width of the rectangle? Answer by Stitch(470) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The equation for the perimeter of a rectangle is : P = 2L + 2W
You can rewrite that equation to solve for W
Subtract 2L from both sides
Divide both sides by 2
