Problem 12
Question
A rectangle has a width of 46 centimeters and a perimeter of 208 centimeters. What is the rectangle's length?
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The rectangle's length is 58 cm.
1Step 1: Understand the formula
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula \(Perimeter = 2*(length+width)\). We are given the perimeter and the width and need to solve for the length.
2Step 2: Substitute the given values into the formula
Substituting the given values into the formula, we get \(208 = 2*(length + 46)\).
3Step 3: Solve for the length
First, simplify the equation by dividing both sides by 2: \(104 = length + 46\). Then, subtract 46 from both sides to solve for the length: \(length = 104 - 46\).
