Question

A rectangle has perimeter 70 cm and length 29 cm. What is its width?

Answer 1

6 centimeters.

Explanation:

The equation to find perimeter is P=2L+2W. L is length and W is width.

70=2(29)+2W

70=58+2W

70-58=2W

12=2W

6=w

Answer 2

6 cm

Explanation:

70=29+29+2x

70=58+2x

70-58=2x

12=2x

12/2=x

6=x

Check: 29+29+6+6=70
