Question

Solve the problem by entering and solving an equation.

A rectangular picture frame has a perimeter of 58 inches. The height of the frame is 12 inches. What is the width of the frame

Answer 1

15 inches

Explanation:

Substitute the formula

Let 'x' be the other side

2 [ l + b ] = Perimeter

2 [ 12 + x ] = 58

12 + x = 58 divided by 2

x = 27 - 12

= 15

Therefore 15 inches is the other side.
