To find the width of the rectangle, we can first convert the length from feet to inches.
Since there are 12 inches in a foot, the length of the rectangle is 1 foot x 12 inches/foot = 12 inches.
Let the width of the rectangle be represented by 'w'.
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
Given that the perimeter is 32 inches and the length is 12 inches, we can substitute these values into the formula:
32 = 2(12 + w)
32 = 24 + 2w
32 - 24 = 2w
8 = 2w
w = 4
Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 4 inches.
The perimeter of a rectangle is 32 inches. The length is 1 foot. What is the width of the rectangle
