Question

A rectangle with a perimeter of 18 miles and a width of 7 miles.

What is the length of the rectangle?

Answer 1

2 miles

Explanation:

Perimeter is figured out by adding all 4 sides of a rectangle.

So if the width is 7 miles on 1 side, the other width side is also 7 miles.

If the perimeter was 18 miles and 14 miles of that was the width on both sides, that leaves only 4 miles left for the 2 length sides. That means each length side is 2 miles.

Answer 2

2 miles

Explanation:

A rectangle has two widths

7 + 7 = 14

18-14=4

It also has two lengths

4/2=2

2 miles
