The perimeter of a rectangle is 35.6feet. the length of the rectangle is 12 feet. what is the width

Hello!

The perimeter is all of the side lengths added up. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is shown below.

2w+2L=P

Let's plug our values into the equation.

2w+2(12)=35.6

2w+24=35.6

Let's subtract 24 from both sides.

2w=11.6

We divide both sides by 2.

w=5.8

Therefore, our width is 5.8 feet.

I hope this helps!

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2length + 2width

Since we already have the Perimeter and we have to find the width, the formula would be:

35.6=2*12 + 2x, Now lets solve for X.

35.6=24+2x, subtract 24 from both sides

11.6=2x, now divide both side by 2.

x=5.8

Hence, the width of the rectangle is 5.8ft
