Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 45 feet. If the length is 14 feet find the width

Answer 1

8.5 feet

Explanation:

the perimeter is the amount of units around an onject

so if a rectangle has two pairs of equal sides and one side is provided (14 feet)

multiply 14 by 2

subtract the product (28) from the given total (45) and you get 17

then you divide 17 by 2

(17 being the the sum of two equal sides)

8.5 feet is the outcome

Answer 2

One side is 8.5 ft and both together are 17 ft
