Question

the perimeter of a rectangular field is 346 yards if the length of the field is 95 yards whay is its width

Answer 1

78 yards

Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by

P = 2(l+w)

346 = 2(95+w)

Divide each side by 2

346/2 = 2/2(95+w)

173 = 95+w

Subtract 95 from each side

173-95 = 95+w-95

78 = w
