Question

Greg has enough framing to enclose a rectangular photograph with a perimeter of 160 centimeters. If the width of his photograph is 16 centimeters less than the length, what is the width, in centimeters, of the photograph

Answer 1

Answer:

32cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be w. Now we know that the width is 16cm less than the length, this means that the length will thus have a total length of w + 16

Now, we know that the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(l + b)

This means 2(w + w + 16) = 160

4w + 32 = 160

4w = 128

w = 128/4 = 32cm
