Question

painting is 294 centimeters. If the width of the painting is 65 centimeters, what is its length ?

Answer 1

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of twice of width and twice the length.  The width and perimeter are known.

 

We can write an algebraic equation that represents this.

 

 

2(57) + 2(length) = 294

 

 

Solve for the length.
