Question

A floor tile is 20 inches wide. If the perimeter of the tile is 72 inches, what is the length of the tile?

Answer 1

16 inches

Explanation:

Given,

Perimeter = 72 inches

Breadth = 20 inches

Perimeter = 2 ( L+B )

72 = 2 ( L+20)

72= 2L + 40

72-40=2L

32/2=L

L=16 inches

therefore , lenght of the tile is 16 inches
