Question

The perimeter of a rectangular painting is 310 centimeters. If the width of the painting is 56 centim

Answer 1

99 centimeters

Explanation:

Use formula for perimeter of a rectangle.

P = 2l + 2w

310 = 2l + 2(56)

Solve for l.

310 - 2(56) = 2l

310 - 112 = 2l

198 = 2l

99 = l

Answer 2

The length is 99 cm

Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is

P = 2 (l+w)

310 = 2( l+56)

Divide each side by 2

310/2 = 2/2( l+56)

155 = l+56

Subtract 56

155-56 = l+56-56

99 = l
