Question

Bob fenced in his backyard. The perimeter of the yard is 22 feet, and the length of his yard is 5 feet. Use the perimeter formula to find the width of the rectangular yard in inches: P = 2L + 2W. (1 foot = 12 inches) 6 in. 12 in. 72 in. 144 in.

Answer 1

72in

Explanation:

P = 2L + 2W

22 = ( 2 x 5 ) + 2W

22 = 10 + 2W

W = 12 / 2

W = 6 feet

W = 6 x 12 inches = 72 inches
