Question

The perimeter of a rectangular painting is 364cm . If the length of the painting is 96cm, what is its width?

Answer 1

The width would be 86cm

Explanation:

Perimeter is (Width*2) +(Length*2)

Length is 96, multiply by 2 : 96*2 = 192

Subtract this from the total perimeter (364-192 = 172)

Divide this by 2 to get 1 width value (172/2 = 86)

86 cm
