Question

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 368 yards. If the length of the field is 98 yards, what is its width?

Answer 1

86 = w

Explanation:

The perimeter of a triangle is

P = 2(l+w)

368 = 2(98+w)

Divide each side by 2

368/2 = 2/2(98+w)

184 = 98+w

Subtract 98 from each side

184-98 = 98+w-98

86 = w
