Answers
GPT 3.5
Let the width of the table top be represented as w inches.
Given that the length of the table top is 72 inches and the perimeter is 216 inches, the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(l + w), where P is the perimeter, l is the length, and w is the width.
Substitute the values into the formula: 216 = 2(72 + w)
216 = 144 + 2w
72 = 2w
w = 36
Therefore, the width of the table top is 36 inches.
