Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 60 meters.if the length of the rectangle is 14 meters.what is the width of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Hello!

We know that the formula for perimeter of a rectangle is:

P = 2l + 2w

We've been given enough information to solve this question!

The perimeter of the rectangle is 60 metres, and the its length is 14 meters long.

We must multiply the length by 2 and then subtract it from the perimeter to find the width.

W = P - 2l

W = 60 - 2(14)

W = 32

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 32 metres long.
