Problema Solution
rectangle has a width of 6 inches and a perimeter of 26 inches. what is the length of the rectangle
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'w' be the width and 'l' be the length of the rectangle. We need to find l.
The perimeter L is L = 2w + 2l.
We know that w = 6 in and L = 26 in thus we have
2*6 + 2*l = 26
2*l = 26 - 2*6
l = 14/2
l = 7 inches
The length of the rectangle is 7 inches.
