Question

A farmer has a rectangle field with a perimeter of 5.4 miles and a length of 2.3 miles. Find the width of the field. The width of the rectangle with perimeter P in length L is given by W equals P -2/2

Answer 1

Explanation:

perimeter = 2*(length + width)

53 m = 2*(2.3 m +w) . . . . an equation to find the width, w

26.5 m = 2.3 m +w . . . . . divide by 2

24.2 m = w . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2.3 m

The width of the rectangle is 24.2 m

hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer:The width of the rectangle is 24.2 m

perimeter = 2*(length + width)

53 m = 2*(2.3 m +w) . . . . an equation to find the width, w

26.5 m = 2.3 m +w . . . . . divide by 2

24.2 m = w . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2.3 m

The width of the rectangle is 24.2 m
