Question

A rectangle has a perimeter of 80 inches and a length of 32 inches. Use the formula p = 2w + 2l to find the width. A. 48 inches B. 8 inches C. 16 inches D. 24 inches

Answer 1

B. 8 inches

Explanation:Since the equations is p=2w + 2l, and we know that the length is 32, we can fill part of it in. 80= 2w + 2(32). Next we want to solve what we have. We have 80= 2w + 64.

80-64=2w.

16=2w.

w=8 in.

Answer 2

B. 8 inches

Explanation:

Since the equations is p=2w + 2l, and we know that the length is 32, we can fill part of it in. 80= 2w + 2(32). Next we want to solve what we have. We have 80= 2w + 64.

80-64=2w.

16=2w.

w=8 in.
