Tracy needs to find the length and width of the equiptment storage room where she works. the room is 2 meters long than it is wide. its perimeter is 24 meters. find the width in meters

the width of the rectangle is, 5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter(P) of the rectangle is given by:

                 ....[1]

where,

l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.

As per the statement:

Tracy needs to find the length and width of the equipment storage room where she works.

The room is 2 meters long than it is wide. its perimeter is 24 meters.

then;

l = w+2

P = 24 meter

Substitute the given values in [1] we have;

Divide both sides by 2 we have;

Subtract 2 from both sides we have;

Divide both sides by 2 we have;

5 = w

or

w = 5 meters

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is, 5 meters

10 you would take 50/ .2
