3. Audrey measures the distance around the lid of her aquarium. The picture
shows the shape of the lid. If the perimeter of the lid is 56 inches, what is the
missing side length? *

Respuesta :

Answer:

Answer: 10 inches

Explanation: You are given one side of the aquarium which is 18 inches. The top and the bottom of the aquarium is 18 inches because that’s what the diagram gives us. So you can multiply 18 x 2=36. Now, to find the missing side length, subtract the perimeter (56 inches) by 36 and you get 20 inches. However, that’s not your final answer because you have to divide 20/2=10 inches. 10 inches is the missing side length for the left and right side lengths

The missing length of the lid of her aquarium in the pricure is 18 inches.

What is the missng length?

The shape of the lid of her aquarium is a rectangle. A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four sides.

The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + width)

56 = 2(18 + l)

56/2 = 18 + l

28 = 18 + l

l = 28 - 18 = 10 inches
