lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of rectangular banner = 18 ft

Total trim of banner available = 48 ft

To find:

Possible widths of the banner = ?

Solution:

Maximum trim available of the banner around the entire border of the banner = 48 ft

i.e. we are given the total perimeter of the rectangular banner.

Formula for perimeter of a rectangle is given as:

$Perimeter = 2 \times (Length + Width)$

Putting the values of perimeter and length to find the value of width.

$48 = 2 \times (18 + Width)\\\Rightarrow 48 =36+2 \times Width\\\Rightarrow 2 \times Width = 48-36\\\Rightarrow 2 \times Width = 12\\\Rightarrow \bold{Width = 6\ ft}$

So, width possible is <em>6ft.</em>
