Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 48 feet. If the length measures 16 feet, which is the width?

Answer 1

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow 2(l + b) = 48 }\)

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow 2(16 + b) = 48 }\)

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow 32 + 2b = 48 }\)

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow 2b = 16 }\)

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow b = 8 }\)

8 is the width/breadth.

Answer 2

Note that Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + breadth)
