Question

A rectangle has a perimeter of 80 inches and a length of 32 inches. The formula p = 2w + 2l gives the perimeter of a rectangle, where w is width and l is length. Use the formula to find the width.

Question 15 options:

A)
48 inches

B)
24 inches

C)
16 inches

D)
8 inches

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

2w+2l=80

2w+2(32)=80

2w+64=80

Subtract the 64 from both sides

2w=16

Divide both sides by 2

w=8
