Question

if w represents the width of a rectangle that is 28 inches long with a perimeter of 110 inches, the best algebraic representation of the rectangle's perimeter is in terms of w

Answer 1

Width=27inches

Explanation:

Width=w

Length=28 inches

Perimeter=110 inches

Perimeter of a rectangle=2(length+width)

110=2(28+w)

110=56+2

110-56=2w

54=2w

Divide both sides by 2

54/2=2w/2

27=w

Therefore,

Width=27inches
