Question

A rectangle has a perimeter of 64 inches and a length of 22 inches. Which equation can you solve to find the width? CLEAR CHECK 64 − = 44 2 + 44 = 64 2 + 22 = 64 22 + = 64

Answer 1

1. length 2. width

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer to your question is Equation 64 = 44 + 2w ; width = 10 in

Explanation:

Data

Perimeter = 64 in

length = 22 in

width = ?

Process

To solve this problem look for the formula of the perimeter of a rectangle, substitute values and solve for width.

- Formula

Perimeter = 2(length) + 2(width)

-Substitution

64 = 2(22) + 2(width) Equation

-Simplification

64 = 44 + 2(width)

64 - 44 = 2(width)

20 = 2(width)

-Solve for width

width = 20/2

Result

width = 10 in
