Question

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 358 yards. If the length of the field is 95 yards, what is it’s width?

Answer 1

Answer:

84 yards (don't forget to label, as my friend failed a test because of it!)

Hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

The total perimeter of the field is 358

The are length and widths...

the length is 95

but since there are two lengths...

its 95*2 which is 190

358-190=168

Since there are two widths...

168/2= 84

Answer 2

Answer:

It's width is 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter (P) of a Rectangle: 2 ( length + width)

P = 2 ( l + w)

Parameters from the question:

Perimeter (P) = 358 yards

Length = 95 yards

Width = w

Therefore:

P = 2(l+w)

Let's insert values into the equation

358 = 2 ( 95 + w)

358 = 190 + 2w

2w = 358 - 190

2w = 168

Divide both sides by 2

w = 168/2

w = 84

It's width is 84
