Question

Medal! One Rectangle has a length of 13 1/8 inches and a perimeter of 42 1/2 inches. Write an equation and the answer and explain please. More info: The perimeter of it is equal to twice the sum of its length and width

Answer 1

im assuming you are trying to find the width?

Answer 2

Isnt it just the length subtract the perimeter?

Answer 3

you would do the opposite of what the original equation would do...in this case i think its adds so you would subtract your 2 known numbers to find your answers?

Answer 4

If it is not this please tell me maybe i misunderstood the question.

Answer 5

hmm...

Answer 6

P = 2L + 2W

Answer 7

that is the original equation to find the perimeter of a rectangle we have to mod it in this case.

Answer 8

Sorry i have to go...@ranga please help.

Answer 9

I can help :)

Answer 10

2(width)+2(length)=perimeter
we know...
perimeter=42.5
length=13 and 1/8

so
2(w)+2(13.125)=42.5
which simplifies to 2(w)=16 and 1/4
so w=8 and 1/8
