Question

the perimeter of a rectangle is 53 feet. if the length is 4 feet, find the width.

Answer 1

The width would be 22.5 because 53 minus 8 (if one length is  4 and there’s 2 sides it’s 8) is 45. Then 45 divided by 2 is 22.5 which is the width.

Answer 2

Perimeter= 53 feet

Length=4 feet

53-(2x4)=45

45/2= 22.5

Width=22.5 feet
