Question

The perimeter o f a rectangle is 70 in., and the width is 9 in.
what is the length?

Answer 1

Length = 26 in.

Explanation:

Length = (P/2)-w

= (70/2)-9

= 35-9

= 26

Answer 2

26 inches

Explanation:

First, subtract 18 by 70, since there will be 2 width amounts in the perimeter:

70 - 18

= 52

Then, divide this by 2, to find the length:

52/2

= 26

So, the length is 26 inches.
