Example Question #581 : Plane Geometry
Use the following rectangle to solve the problem:
Find the perimeter.
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we will use the following formula:
Where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides of the rectangle.
Now, given the rectangle
we can see the length is 11in. Because it is a rectangle, the opposite side is also 11in.
The width is 5in. Because it is a rectangle, the opposite side is also 5in.
So, we can substitute.
Example Question #582 : Geometry
What is the width of the rectangle if the perimeter is and the length is ?
The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is
To solve for the width we can plug our known values into the equation.
Subtract from both sides
Divide by both sides
Example Question #81 : Apply Area And Perimeter Formulas For Rectangles: Ccss.Math.Content.4.Md.A.3
What is the length of a room with a perimeter of and a width of
We have the perimeter and the width, so we can plug those values into our equation and solve for our unknown.
Subtract from both sides
Divide by both sides
