Question

Need some help....

The length of a rectangle is 6 inches more than its width, and its perimeter is 32 inches. Find the width of the rectangle.

A. 5
B. 11
C. 16

Answer 1

Perimeter is just the sum of all the sides. If a rectangle has four sides, & two pairs of sides that are the same length, then it will be easier to find this. Basically, 2(L+W)=2(6+x)= 12+2x.

Answer 2

Subtract 32-12. Then divide your answer by two.
