Question

a bedroom has perimeter of 46 feet. if the length of the the bedroom is 11 feet, what is the wigthof the bedroom.

Answer 1

Perimeter is basically the combines sum of all the bedroom's sides. It is a rectangle, therefore the formula is 2L+2W=P.

Since you are given the overall perimeter, you just plug-in the info you already have into the question. Like this: 2(11)+2(W)=46

Then solve the equation.

(2*11)+2W=46

22+2W=46

2W= 24

W=12 Feet. The width is 12 feet.
