Question

the perimeter of a rectangle is 62 feet.if the width of the rectangle is 19ft. what is the length of the rectangle

Answer 1

Perimeter = 2(l+w) or 2(length+width)

So far you have the width, which is 19feet. Since you have two sides of the rectangle which are 19 feet, add 19+19=38

Subtract 62-38 to get 24.

You now have the length of both of the sides combined. So you need to divide 24/2 = 12
The length of the rectangle = 12ft.

Answer 2

The answer is 12, because if you multiply 19 by 2 to get both of the widths, you get 38. Subtract 38 from 62 and you get 24, then divide that by 2 and you get 12. 19+19+12+12=62
