Question

The perimeter of a rectangle 48 is feet. If the length measures 16 feet, which is the width?
a-10ft
b-5ft
c-8ft
d-16ft

Answer 1

why the flutter someone still uses feets in computing?
2a+2b=48
a=16
----------
32+2b=48
2b=16
b=8
width is 8 FEET... omg

Answer 2

well considering that a rectangle perimeter is equal to = 2l + 2w
if the l = 16 it be like this
48 = 2(16) + 2(w)
48 = 32 + 2(w)
48 - 32 =2(w)
16 = 2w
16/2 = w
8 = w
the width equals 8 feets

Answer 3

lol I meant why the F.U.C.K and it edited it :D
