The perimeter of a rectangle is 34 units. Its width W is 6.5 units.
Write an equation to represent the perimeter in terms of the length L, and find the value of L
The length of rectangle is 10.5 units
Given that,
Perimeter of rectangle = 34 units
Width of rectangle = 6.5 units
Let "L" be the length of rectangle
The perimeter of rectangle is given by formula:
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
Substituting the values we get,
[tex]34 = 2(L + 6.5)[/tex]
Thus the equation is found
Solve for "L"
[tex]L + 6.5 = \frac{34}{2}\\\\L + 6.5 = 17\\\\L = 17 - 6.5\\\\L =10.5[/tex]
Thus length of rectangle is 10.5 units
