Question

The perimeter of rectangle is 76m if one side is 16m what is the other side?​

Answer 1

Answer: 22

Explanation:

The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is side 1 + side 1 + side 2 + side 2. Side one is 16. This means that 16x2 is 32. Then, you realize there are 44 meters remaining. 44/2=22. The other side is 22.

Answer 2

Let's assume that the length of the rectangle is 16m (given in the question), and the width of the rectangle is "w" meters.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is:

P = 2(l + w)

where P is the perimeter, l is the length, and w is the width.

We know that the perimeter of the rectangle is 76m, so we can substitute the values in the formula:

76 = 2(16 + w)

Simplifying the equation:

76 = 32 + 2w

Subtracting 32 from both sides:

44 = 2w

Dividing both sides by 2:

w = 22

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 22 meters.
