Question

Owen’s bedroom has a perimeter of 46 feet. If the length of the bedroom is 11 feet, what is the width

Answer 1

Perimeter of a rectangle is given by (2 × Length(l)) + (2 × Width(w)) = 2l + 2w

l= 11 feet

2(11) + 2w = 46

2w = 46 - 22 = 24

w = 24/2 = 12 feet

Width = 12 feet.

Answer 2

Perimeter of a rectangle is given by (2 × Length(l)) + (2 × Width(w)) = 2l + 2w

l= 11 feet

2(11) + 2w = 46

2w = 46 - 22 = 24

w = 24/2 = 12 feet

Width = 12 feet.
