Question

1. the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is p = 2l + 2w. what is w expressed in terms of p and l?

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the term with \(w\)

Given \(P = 2l+2w\), subtract \(2l\) from both sides: \(P - 2l=2w\).

Step2: Solve for \(w\)

Divide both sides of the equation \(P - 2l = 2w\) by 2: \(w=\frac{P - 2l}{2}\).

Answer:

\(w=\frac{P - 2l}{2}\)
