So we have the following equations Since P = 2l + 2w, we have 2l + 2w = 60 l = 7w - 2 Substitute Equation 1 into Equation 2: 2(7w -2) + 2w = 60 14w - 4 + 2w = 60 16w - 4 = 60 Add 4 to each side 16w = 64 Divide each side by 16 to isolate w w = 4 Which means l = 7(4) - 2 = 28 - 2 = 26
The perimeter of a college basketball court is 102 meters and the length is twice as long as the width. What are the length and width? A basketball court is a rectangle. The perimeter P is: P = 2l + 2w We're also given l = 2w and P = 102. Plug these into the perimeter formula: 2(2w) + 2w = 102 4w + 2w = 102 6w = 102 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=6w%3D102&pl=Solve']Typing this equation into our calculator[/URL], we get: [B]w = 17[/B] Plug this into the l = 2w formula, we get: l = 2(17) [B]l = 34[/B]
The perimeter of a rectangle is 400 meters. The length is 15 meters less than 4 times the width. Find the length and the width of the rectangle. l = 4w - 15 Perimeter = 2l + 2w Substitute, we get: 400 = 2(4w - 15) + 2w 400 = 8w - 30 + 2w 10w - 30 = 400 Add 30 to each side 10w = 370 Divide each side by 10 to isolate w w = 37 Plug that back into our original equation to find l l = 4(37) - 15 l = 148 - 15 l = 133 So we have (l, w) = (37, 133)
The perimeter of a rectangle parking lot is 340 m. If the length of the parking lot is 97 m, what is its width? The formula for a rectangles perimeter P, is: P = 2l + 2w where l is the length and w is the width. Plugging in our P = 340 and l = 97, we have: 2(97) + 2w = 340 Multiply through, we get: 2w + 194 = 340 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=2w%2B194%3D340&pl=Solve']Type this equation into our search engine[/URL], we get: [B]w = 73[/B]
The perimeter of a rectangular field is 250 yards. If the length of the field is 69 yards, what is its width? Set up the rectangle perimeter equation: P = 2l + 2w For l = 69 and P = 250, we have: 250= 2(69) + 2w 250 = 138 + 2w Using our [URL='http://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=2w%2B138%3D250&pl=Solve']equation solver[/URL], we get: [B]w = 56 [/B]
The perimeter of a rectangular field is 300m. If the width of the field is 59m, what is its length? Set up the perimeter (P) of a rectangle equation given length (l) and width (w): 2l + 2w = P We're given P = 300 and w = 59. Plug these into the perimeter equation: 2l + 2(59) = 300 2l + 118 = 300 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=2l%2B118%3D300&pl=Solve']Typing this equation into our search engine[/URL], we get: [B]l = 91[/B]
The perimeter of a rectangular outdoor patio is 54 ft. The length is 3 ft greater than the width. What are the dimensions of the patio? Perimeter of a rectangle is: P = 2l + 2w We're given l = w + 3 and P = 54. So plug this into our perimeter formula: 54= 2(w + 3) + 2w 54 = 2w + 6 + 2w Combine like terms: 4w + 6 = 54 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=4w%2B6%3D54&pl=Solve']Typing this equation into our search engine[/URL], we get: [B]w = 12[/B] Plug this into our l = w + 3 formula: l = 12 + 3 [B]l = 15[/B]
The perimeter of a rectangular parking lot is 258 meters. If the length of the parking lot is 71, what is its width? The perimeter for a rectangle (P) is given as: 2l + 2w = P We're given P = 258 and l = 71. Plug these values in: 2(71) + 2w = 258 142 + 2w = 258 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=142%2B2w%3D258&pl=Solve']Typing this equation into our search engine[/URL], we get: [B]w = 58[/B]
