Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 64 feet. If one side of the rectangle has a length of 20 feet. How long is the other side?

Please answer thanks

Answer 1

b=12

Explanation:

Perimeter=2*(l+b)

64=2*(20+b)

b=12

Answer 2

The width is 12 feet

Explanation:

If the length is 20 feet, the other side must be 20 feet as well. The perimeter is the addition of all sides of a rectangle. Length: 20 on one side, 20 on other side. Subtract the length from total perimeter and you get 24 feet remaining. Divide 24 by 2. 12 feet for the width.
