Question

the providence children muesuem installed a fence around the perimeter of the propety. the propety is a rectangle. one side is 37 meters long. and the entire perimeter is 164 meters. what are the measurements of the other three sides.

Answer 1

Its a rectangle so two sides are equal and both sides that are opposite of each other are equal. So two sides are 37. Then you add them together to get 74, then subtract it from 164 to get 90 the rest of the fence length. Then divide it by two to get 45 which is the other side lengths, so it would be a 37 by 45 rectangle one side would be 37 while the other two are 45.
