A rectangle has a perimeter of 116 centimeters and a length of 26 centimeters. What is the width of the rectangle?
A. Find the width of the rectangle and include all of your work.
B. In two or more complete sentences, explain your steps in finding the width of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer: 32

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is all sides added. So using what we know, you get: width+width+26+26=116

Simplify this as 2*width = 116-26-26 and calculate.

Then we find that width = 64/2 = 32
