Question

Solve the problem by entering and solving an equation.
A rectangular picture frame has a perimeter of 52 inches. The height of the frame is 16 inches. What is the width of the frame?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

• 52 = 2(16 +w)
• width = 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter formula can be used.

  P = 2(L +W)

Filling in the given values, we obtain an equation that can be solved for width:

  52 = 2(16 +W)

  26 = 16 +W . . . . divide by 2

  10 = W . . . . . . . . subtract 16

The width of the frame is 10 inches.

Answer 2

$\huge\star{\underline{\mathtt{\red{A}\pink{N}\green{S}\blue{W}\purple{E}\orange{R}}}}\star$

52 2(16 +w)

width = 10 inches

The perimeter formula can be used.

P 2(L +W

Filling in the given values, we obtain an

equation that can be solved for width:

52 2(16 +W)

26 16 +W.... divide by 2

10 W........ subtract 16

The width of the frame is 10 inches.
