A floor tile is 20 inches wide. If the perimeter of the tile is 72 inches, what is the length of the tile?
Dis so hard .I give up. ( I am a 3rd grader )
😒😒😒🤔✨.
To find the length of the tile, we need to understand the concept of perimeter. The perimeter of a shape is the distance around its outer edge. In this case, the perimeter refers to the distance around the four sides of the floor tile.
Let's assume the length of the tile is 'L'. Given that the width of the tile is 20 inches, we can determine the equation for the perimeter:
Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Width)
Substituting the given values, we have:
72 inches = 2 × (L + 20 inches)
Now, let's solve the equation to find the length of the tile.
First, divide both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate the expression (L + 20) on the right side:
72 inches ÷ 2 = (L + 20 inches)
36 inches = L + 20 inches
Next, subtract 20 inches from both sides of the equation:
36 inches - 20 inches = L + 20 inches - 20 inches
16 inches = L
Therefore, the length of the tile is 16 inches.
i have no idea
die lol
noobs
P = 2L + 2W
72 = 2L + 40
32 = 2L
16 = L
