To find the width of the rectangle, let's use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
We are given that the length is 3.6 in and the perimeter is 16.8 in. Plugging these values in, we get:
16.8 = 2(3.6 + width)
Now, let's solve for the width:
16.8 = 7.2 + 2width
Subtracting 7.2 from both sides:
9.6 = 2width
Dividing both sides by 2:
width = 4.8 in
Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 4.8 inches.
A rectangle has a length of 3.6 in. and a perimeter of 16.8 in.
