The perimeter of a rectangle is 48 feet. If the length measures 16 feet, which is the width?

A. 5ft

B. 8ft

C. 10ft

D. 16ft

B. 8ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by

P = 2(l+w) where l is the length and w is the width

Substituting in the given values

48 = 2(16+w)

Divide each side by 2

48/2 = 2/2(16+w)

24 = 16+w

Subtract 16 from each side

24-16 =16+w-16

8 =w

step-by-step explanation:

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

step-by-step explanation:

formula

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

let the line segment ab with a(x1,y1) and b(x2,y2)

a point(x,y) divide ab in the ratio, 2: 3 the x coordinate can be written as

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

here p=2 and w = 2+3

therefore,

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

similarly y coordinate y = y1 + 2/5(y2 - y1)
