A rectangle has a perimeter of 48 feet and a length of 14 feet. Which equation can you solve to find the width?

2n + 28 = 48

48 – n = 28

14 + n = 48

2n + 14 = 48

no..i am asking in general how do u find the perimeter of any rectangle?

anonymous · Answer

It does say what the perimeter is

anonymous · Answer

the perimeter says 48

anonymous · Answer

And how do you find the perimiter

priyar · Answer

in general, perimeter of a rectangle=2(l+b) l-length b- breadth

priyar · Answer

here width is "n".. so we have :
perimeter=2(l+n)

anonymous · Answer

So in a more simple way, length + width.
Width = n in this question. That's all the info you need to know for the answer

priyar · Answer

so 48=2l+2n.. now plug in the given length

priyar · Answer

@Redicle  i think u mean 2(length + width)..!

anonymous · Answer

Oops, yeah

priyar · Answer

@kcunnin what do u get?

kayders1997 · Answer

Okay so you have l is 14 plug that into your equation the equation is?

megwatskies · Answer

You would use 2n + 28 = 48 to find the width
