Question

A rectangle's area and perimeter have the same numerical value. The length of the rectangle is 22 feet.

What is the width of the rectangle in feet?

Answer 1

Width = 2.2 feet

Explanation:

We are given the length of the rectangle as 22 feet.

Let the width be "w"

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(22 + w)

Area of rectangle = 22w

Now, we are told that the perimeter of the rectangle is equal to the area. Thus;

2(22 + w) = 22w

44 + 2w = 22w

22w - 2w = 44

20w = 44

w = 44/20

w = 2.2 feet

So the width of the rectangle is 2.2 feet
