Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 36 meters. If the length of the rectangle is 10 meters, what is the width (in meters)?

Answer 1

The width is 8. The length is 10 so 10+10 equals 20. You subtract 20 from 36 you get 16. 16/2 is 8. If you add 8+8+10+10 you get 36.

Answer 2

The width would have to be 8
