The perimeter of a rectangle can be calculated using the following formula:
[tex]P=2w+2l[/tex]Where
"w" represents the width of the rectangle
"l" represents the length of the rectangle
If you know the perimeter and length of a rectangle, you can use the formula to determine the width. The first step is to write the formula for the width:
-Pass 2l to the left side of the expression by applying the opposite operation to both sides of it:
[tex]P-2l=2w[/tex]-Divide both sides by 2
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{P-2l}{2}=\frac{2w}{2} \\ \frac{P-2l}{2}=w \end{gathered}[/tex]Now that we have determined a formula for w, replace the value of the length and perimeter and calculate the width:
P=84in
l=28in
[tex]\begin{gathered} w=\frac{84-2\cdot28}{2} \\ w=\frac{84-56}{2} \\ w=\frac{28}{2} \\ w=14 \end{gathered}[/tex]The width of the rectangular frame is 14 inches long
