The width would be: 57cm

First you would want to multiply 95*2

95*2=190cm

Now you want to take the total of the whole painting and subtract it by 190.

304-190= 114cm

Now divide 114 by 2 to get your answer.

114divided by 2= 57cm

Then you are left with your answer: 57cm

Hope this helps! :3

perimeter = 304cm (2xlength + 2xwidth)
length = 95cm
total length of painting = 95x2 = 190cm
total width of painting = 304-190 = 114cm
width = 114 divided by 2 = 57cm
