Question 939130: Given a rectangle with a 50-inch perimeter and the restriction that one side of the rectangle must be 9.5 inches long, how long is the other side of the rectangle? Answer by srinivas.g(540) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! perimeter = 50 in
one side = 9.5 in
formula : perimeter = 2*( one side+other side)
50 =2(9.5+other side)
divide with 2 on both sides
25= (9.5+other side)
subtract 9.5 on both sides
25-9.5= 9.5+other side -9.5
15.5 =other side
Result: length of other side of rectangle = 15.5 in
