The perimeter of a rectangle is 50 inches. The length of the rectangle is 10 inches. Which
method can be used to find w, the width of the rectangle?

Respuesta :

Answer:15

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for w in the equation 2w + 10 =50.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 50 inches. The length of the rectangle is 10 inches and the width of the rectangle is 15 inches.

What is the perimeter of a rectangle?

The perimeter of a rectangle is defined as the sum of all the four sides of the rectangle.

The perimeter of a rectangle = 2( l + b)

The perimeter of a rectangle is 50 inches. The length of the rectangle is 10 inches.

Let w be the width of the rectangle, then

The perimeter of a rectangle = 2( l + b)

                                       50 = 2 ( 10 + w)

                                       25 = 10 + w

                                    w = 25 -10

                                    w = 15

Thus, The width of the rectangle is 15 inches.
