Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 34 units. Its width is 6.5 point, 5 units.

Answer 1

Question:

The perimeter of a rectangle is 34 units. Its width W is 6.5 units.

Write an equation to represent the perimeter in terms of the length L, and find the value of L

Answer:

The length of rectangle is 10.5 units

Solution:

Given that,

Perimeter of rectangle = 34 units

Width of rectangle = 6.5 units

Let "L" be the length of rectangle

The perimeter of rectangle is given by formula:

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

Substituting the values we get,

$34 = 2(L + 6.5)$

Thus the equation is found

Solve for "L"

$L + 6.5 = \frac{34}{2}\\\\L + 6.5 = 17\\\\L = 17 - 6.5\\\\L =10.5$

Thus length of rectangle is 10.5 units
