A city is building a fence around a rectangular playground. If the perimeter of the playground is 98 feet and the length of one side of the fence is 31 feet, what is the width of the playground?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Perimeter is 2l+2w. So you have 2(31)+2w=98. So you just solve that for w. 62+2w=98, 2w=36, w=18. The width of the playground is 18 feet.
