Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 59

feet. If the length is 14

feet, find the width.

Step 3 of 3 : Solve the problem by substituting in the appropriate value(s) of the known variable(s) in the formula you found in the previous step. Round your answer to two decimal places, if necessary.

Answer 1

Perimeter = 2(length + width)
59 = 2(14+x)
59 = 28 + 2x
31 = 2x
15.5 = x

Width = 15.5
