Question

a rectangle has a length of 11 feet and the perimeter of 38 feet. what the width in feet of the rectangle

Answer 1

If p= 38
You need four sides to equal that
11 is length so that means two sides are 11
11+11= 22
So that means you need two more equal numbers that will finish making up the 22
38-22= 16
But two sides make up 16
16 divides by 2 is 8
So THE WIDTH IS 8

Answer 2

The perimeter of a rectangle is the boundary of a rectangle.
38 = 11 + 11 + ? + ?
16 = ? + ?
Each side added up equals 16. Since the sides are congruent, each side equals 8 feet! :)
