Let's start by using the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:
P = 2L + 2W
where P is the perimeter, L is the length, and W is the width.
We know that the perimeter is 84 meters and the length is 35 meters. Plugging those values into the formula, we get:
84 = 2(35) + 2W
Simplifying:
84 = 70 + 2W
14 = 2W
7 = W
Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 7 meters.
A rectangle has a perimeter of 84 meters and a length of 35 meters. What is the width of the rectangle?
