Example Questions

Example Question #528 : Plane Geometry

What is the length of a yard with a perimeter of 26ft $\displaystyle 26ft$ and a width of 5ft? $\displaystyle 5ft?$

Possible Answers:

9ft $\displaystyle 9ft$

8ft $\displaystyle 8ft$

5ft $\displaystyle 5ft$

6ft $\displaystyle 6ft$

7ft $\displaystyle 7ft$

Correct answer:

8ft $\displaystyle 8ft$

Explanation:

$\displaystyle P=2l+ 2w$

We have the perimeter and the width, so we can plug those values into our equation and solve for our unknown.

$\displaystyle 26=2l+2(5)$

$\displaystyle 26=2l+10$

Subtract $\displaystyle 10$ from both sides

$\displaystyle 26-10=2l+10-10$

16=2l $\displaystyle 16=2l$

Divide $\displaystyle 2$ by both sides

$\frac{16}{2}=\frac{2l}{2}$ $\displaystyle \frac{16}{2}=\frac{2l}{2}$

8=l $\displaystyle 8=l$

Example Question #181 : Solve Problems Involving Measurement And Conversion Of Measurements

What is the length of a yard with a perimeter of 18ft $\displaystyle 18ft$ and a width of 3ft? $\displaystyle 3ft?$

Possible Answers:

3ft $\displaystyle 3ft$

6ft $\displaystyle 6ft$

4ft $\displaystyle 4ft$

5ft $\displaystyle 5ft$

2ft $\displaystyle 2ft$

Correct answer:

6ft $\displaystyle 6ft$

Explanation:

$\displaystyle P=2l+ 2w$

We have the perimeter and the width, so we can plug those values into our equation and solve for our unknown.

$\displaystyle 18=2l+2(3)$

18=2l+6 $\displaystyle 18=2l+6$

Subtract $\displaystyle 6$ from both sides

$\displaystyle 18-6=2l+6-6$

12=2l $\displaystyle 12=2l$

Divide $\displaystyle 2$ by both sides

$\frac{12}{2}=\frac{2l}{2}$ $\displaystyle \frac{12}{2}=\frac{2l}{2}$

6=l $\displaystyle 6=l$

Example Question #531 : Plane Geometry

What is the length of a yard with a perimeter of 30ft $\displaystyle 30ft$ and a width of 8ft? $\displaystyle 8ft?$

Possible Answers:

7ft $\displaystyle 7ft$

10ft $\displaystyle 10ft$

9ft $\displaystyle 9ft$

8ft $\displaystyle 8ft$

11ft $\displaystyle 11ft$

Correct answer:

7ft $\displaystyle 7ft$

Explanation:

$\displaystyle P=2l+ 2w$

We have the perimeter and the width, so we can plug those values into our equation and solve for our unknown.

$\displaystyle 30=2l+2(8)$

$\displaystyle 30=2l+16$

Subtract $\displaystyle 16$ from both sides

$\displaystyle 30-16=2l+16-16$

14=2l $\displaystyle 14=2l$

Divide $\displaystyle 2$ by both sides

$\frac{14}{2}=\frac{2l}{2}$ $\displaystyle \frac{14}{2}=\frac{2l}{2}$

7=l $\displaystyle 7=l$

Example Question #121 : How To Find The Area Of A Parallelogram

What is the length of a yard with a perimeter of 36ft $\displaystyle 36ft$ and a width of 8ft? $\displaystyle 8ft?$

Possible Answers:

11ft $\displaystyle 11ft$

14ft $\displaystyle 14ft$

12ft $\displaystyle 12ft$

10ft $\displaystyle 10ft$

13ft $\displaystyle 13ft$

Correct answer:

10ft $\displaystyle 10ft$

Explanation:

$\displaystyle P=2l+ 2w$

We have the perimeter and the width, so we can plug those values into our equation and solve for our unknown.

$\displaystyle 36=2l+2(8)$

$\displaystyle 36=2l+16$

Subtract $\displaystyle 16$ from both sides

$\displaystyle 36-16=2l+16-16$

20=2l $\displaystyle 20=2l$

Divide $\displaystyle 2$ by both sides

$\frac{20}{2}=\frac{2l}{2}$ $\displaystyle \frac{20}{2}=\frac{2l}{2}$

10=l $\displaystyle 10=l$

Explanation:

$\displaystyle P=2l+ 2w$

We have the perimeter and the width, so we can plug those values into our equation and solve for our unknown.

$\displaystyle 28=2l+2(5)$

$\displaystyle 28=2l+10$

18=2l $\displaystyle 18=2l$

Divide $\displaystyle 2$ by both sides

$\frac{18}{2}=\frac{2l}{2}$ $\displaystyle \frac{18}{2}=\frac{2l}{2}$
