Question

The perimeter of a movie screen is 76 meters. It is 24 meters wide. How tall is it? meters​

Answer 1

14 meters

Explanation:

Assuming the movie screen is a rectangle, there are four sides. Two of those sides are 24 meters. Therefore you would add 24 and 24 to get 48 meters. Then you take 76 and subtract 48. The difference of 76 and 48 is 28. To know how tall the movie screen is you need to divide 28 by two (there are two sides). That's where you get 14 from. Hoped this helped.

Answer 2

14

Explanation:

the perimeter of a rectangle is : 2W + 2L = Perimeter

2*24 + 2L = 76

48 + 2L = 76

2L = 76 -48

2L = 28

L=14
