Answer:

20 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + w)

Let the width be w

=> 104 = 2(32 + w)

=> 104/2 = 32 + w

=> 52 = 32 + w

=> 52 - 32 = w

=> 20 = w

Hence z

Width of playground is 20 ft

Answer:

Basic fact:

<em>perimeter is (one side x by 2) + (the other side x by 2)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the other side we have been already given the total which is 104

We have also been given one side which is 32

we need to times 32 by 2 which is 64

subtract 64 from 104 which is 40

divide 40 by 2 which is 20
