Answer:

Width = 20 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 86 inches

Width = W

Length = 3 + W

Use the formula 2L + 2W = P to solve

Substitute new value for length (3 + w) into the formula

2(3 + W) + 2W = P

Change perimeter into the equation to 86 inches (Given)

2(3 + W) + 2W = 86

Multiply

6 + 2W + 2W = 86

Add the W's

6 + 4W = 86

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

4W = 80

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

W = 20 inches

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Pythagorean Theorem we know

h^2=x^2+y^2 (where h is the hypotenuse and x and y are sides of a right triangle)

w^2+18^2=30^2

w^2=30^2-18^2

w^2=900-324

w^2=576

w=24 in
