Question

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 43.8 feet. its 12.4 feet long. how wide is it

Answer 1

The width is 9.5 ft

Explanation:

Perimeter for a rectangle is given by

P = 2 (l+w)

43.8 = 2 (12.4+w)

Divide each side by 2

21.9 = 12.4+w

Subtract 12.4 from each side

21.9-12.4 = w

9.5 = w

The width is 9.5 ft
