THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT 7TH GRADE MATH:
The perimeter is of a rectangle is 53 meters. The length is 2.3 meters longer than the width, w. Write and solve an equation the find the width of the rectangle.

Respuesta :

Rectangle perimeter is 53 meters.

L = W + 2.3

To find the options of a perimeter, divide by 4.

= 13.25

So if this was a square, it would be 13.25 for both L and W but it's not.

Since the W has 2.3 meters more then the L, we do this.

13.25 + 2.3 = 15.55

13.25 - 2.3 = 10.95

Two of your sides equal 15.55, and the other two equal 10.95.

Hope this helps!
