A rectangle has a length of 18 cm and a perimeter of 68 cm.

Which equation could be used to find the width of the rectangle?

A. w + 18 = 68

B. 18w = 68

C. 2w + 18 = 68

D. 2w + 36 = 68



Answer :

Well perimeter can be found with the equation P = 2w + 2l where p is perimeter, l is length and w is width. Substitute 18 in for l and 68 for p:
2w + 2(18) = 68
D. 2w + 36 = 68 is the equation.
