A rectangular closet has a perimeter of 10 feet. If the width of the closet is 3 feet, what is the length of the closet?

not right

To solve this problem, you need to use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, which is given by:

Perimeter = 2 * (length + width)

Here, we are given that the perimeter is 10 feet and the width is 3 feet. We can substitute these values into the formula and solve for the length.

10 = 2 * (length + 3)

Now, let's simplify the equation:

10 = 2 * length + 6

Subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation:

10 - 6 = 2 * length

4 = 2 * length

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

4/2 = length

2 = length

Therefore, the length of the closet is 2 feet.

P = 2L + 2W

10 = 2L + 6

4 = 2L

2 = L

10 feet

You're welcome.
