Question 1054519: If a wire is First bent into the shape of a triangle each side of the triangle is 14 centimeters long then the wires on Matt and reshaped into a rectangle if the length of the rectangle is 15 centimeters what is its width? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If a wire is First bent into the shape of a triangle each side of the triangle is 14 centimeters long.
Note: So the wire is 3*14 = 52 cm long
----------------------
Then the wire is reshaped into a rectangle. If the length of the rectangle is 15 centimeters what is its width?
----
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
52 = 2(15+w)
26 = 15+w
width = 11 cm
