If the perimeter of the top of desk is 54 inches the length of the desk is

allsm [11]

Formula: $2width+2length=perimeter$

$length=15inches$

$width=?$

$Perimeter=54inches$

$2*15=30$ (There are two sides for the length)

$54-30=24$

$24/2=12$ (There are two sides for the width)

The width of the desk is 15 inches
