<PRE><B>Question 1078699</B>
perimeter is equal to 2 * length + 2 * width

2 * length = 2 * 95 = 190


338 - 190 = 148


148 / 2 = 74


length is 74 and width is 95


2 * length + 2 * width = 190 + 148 = 338


this all stems from the following equation:


P = 2L + 2W


P = perimeters
L = length
W = wisth.


since you know the length and the perimeters, you want tos solve this equation for width.


you will get W = (P - 2L) / 2


since P = 338 and L = 95, this equation becomes:


W = (338 - 2 * 95) / 2


simplify to get:


W = (338 - 190) / 2


simplify further to get:


W = 148/2


solve for W to get W = 74
