Question

The perimeter of the rectangle ia 74 inches it is 27 inches wide how deep is it​

Answer 1

10 inches

Explanation:

Assuming that by 'deep' you mean length, we can set up a simple algebraic expression to solve this problem. We know that a rectangle has 4 sides, 2 of them equal sides, and all of those sides added up equals the perimeter. To say that algebraically,
`2a+2b=p`. We can fill in the blanks on this equation to solve.

`2(27)+2b=74\\\\54+2b=74\\2b=20\\b=10`

The length of the other side is 10 inches.

Hope this helped!
