Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 64 inches. Remember, The perimeter of a rectangle is 2 times the sum of the length, L and width. If the width of the rectangle is 8 inches.

Find equation

Answer 1

Perimeter = 2(L) + 2(w)

64 = 2(L) + 2(8)

64 = 2(L) + 16

Subtract 16 from both sides

48 = 2(L)

Divide both sides by 2

L = 24

The length is 24 inches
