Hello!
The perimeter is all of the side lengths added up. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is shown below.
2w+2L=P
Let's plug our values into the equation.
2w+2(12)=35.6
2w+24=35.6
Let's subtract 24 from both sides.
2w=11.6
We divide both sides by 2.
w=5.8
Therefore, our width is 5.8 feet.
I hope this helps!
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2length + 2width
Since we already have the Perimeter and we have to find the width, the formula would be:
35.6=2*12 + 2x, Now lets solve for X.
35.6=24+2x, subtract 24 from both sides
11.6=2x, now divide both side by 2.
x=5.8
Hence, the width of the rectangle is 5.8ft
