Question

A rectangle has a width of 7.9ft and a perimeter of 27.2 Ft enter the length of the rectangle, in decimal form in the box

Answer 1

5.7 is the answer because if one side is 7.9 the parallel is the same a rectangle. The is you add those, you get 15.8. The equation now is 15.8+x=27.2. 27.2-15.8 is 11.4 which is then divided to find the two sides which makes them 5.7.

Answer 2

The length is 5.7 feet.

Explanation:

A rectangle has a width of 7.9 feet and a perimeter of 27.2 feet.

Let the length be = x

Perimeter is given by :

`P=2(L+W)`

We get;

`27.2=2(x+7.9)`

=>
`27.2=2x+15.8`

=>
`2x=11.4`

Dividing both sides by 2 to get x;

x = 5.7 feet

Hence, length is 5.7 feet.
