Question

the perimeter of a rectangular painting is 304 CM. If the width of the paint is 63 cm what is the length​

Answer 1

Answer:

The PERIMETER P is the distance around the rectangle.

Let's call the width of the rectangle W and the length of the rectangle L.

As you go around the edge there two equal lengths and two equal widths.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P=2*L+2*W.

P=2L%2B2W

Substitute 290 for P and 62 for the width.

290=2L%2B2%2862%29

Solve for L.

290=2L%2B2%2862%29

290=2L%2B124

290-124=2L

2L=166

L=83

The equation L=83 means that the length is 83 cm.

CHECK your work.

2(62)+2(83) = 124+166 = 290cm.

The length of the rectangle is 83cm.
