The perimeter of a rectangular pool is 372 m. If the width of the pool is 88 m, what is its length?

Question

Someone please help me solve this !

Answer 1

The perimeter of a rectangle is:

Perimeter = 2L + 2W

Where L is the Length and W is the Width. The problem tells you that the Perimeter = 372 m and the Width = 88 m. Plug those given values into the equation:

372 = 2L + 2(88)

372 = 2L + 176

Solve for L. The units are meters (m).
