A tree house has a rectangular floor with a perimeter of 246 inches and a length of 48 inches.

What is the width of the floor?

Respuesta :

Answer:

75 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(length)+2(width). The length and total of the perimeter was given to us, so the equation looks like 2(48)+2(w)=246

96+2w=246 (multiply and add where you can on both sides)

2w=150 (get all of the variables on one side and the numbers on the other)

w=75  (simplify to get your final answer)

width is 75 inches. [make sure to add the units!]
