Bob fenced in his backyard. The perimeter of the yard is 22 feet, and the length of his yard is 5 feet. Use the perimeter formula to find the width of the rectangular yard in inches: P = 2L + 2W.
Plugging our numbers in for P = 22 and L = 5, we get:
22 = 2(5) + 2W
22 = 10 + 2w
Rewritten, we have:
10 + 2w = 22
Plug this equation into the search engine, we get:
w = 6
Plugging our numbers in for P = 22 and L = 5, we get:
22 = 2(5) + 2W
22 = 10 + 2w
Rewritten, we have:
10 + 2w = 22
Plug this equation into the search engine, we get:
w = 6
