Question

The preimeter of a rectangle rug is 40 feet it’s length is 12 feet , what is the width

Answer 1

`\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{8 \: feet}}}}}`

Explanation:

Given,

Perimeter of a rectangular rug ( P ) = 40 feet

Length of a rectangular rug ( l ) = 12 feet

Width of a rectangular rug ( w ) = ?

Finding the width

`\boxed{ \sf{perimeter \: of \: rectangle = 2(l + w)}}`

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{40 = 2(12 + w)}}`

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{40 = 24 + 2w}}`

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{24 + 2w = 40}}`

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{2w = 40 - 24}}`

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{2w = 16}}`

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{ (2w)/(2) = (16)/(2) }}`

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{w = 8 \: ft}}`

Width of a rectangular rug = 8 feet
