The perimeter of a rectangle is 90 feet. The length is 27 feet.

What is the width of the rectangle? in feet

Respuesta :

The formula for perimeter is P = 2length + 2width (P = 2L + 2W)

You know that the length is 27 ft but you don't know the width. To find the width plug 90 in for P and 27 in for L then solve for W.

90 = 2(27) + 2W

90 = 54 + 2W

90 - 54 = 54 - 54 + 2W

36 = 0 + 2W

36 = 2W

36 / 2 = 2W/ 2

18 = 1W

18 = W

Width is 18 ft

Check:

2(27) + 2(18) = 90

54 + 36  = 90

90 = 90

Hope this helped!
