the perimeter of a kitchen is 528 inches. if the width of the kitchen is 120 inches, what is the length of the kitchen
2(120+x) = 528
120+x = 264
x = 144 inches
thank you
To find the length of the kitchen, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, which is given by P = 2(w + l), where P represents the perimeter, w represents the width, and l represents the length.
Given that the width of the kitchen is 120 inches and the perimeter is 528 inches, we can substitute these values into the formula and solve for the length.
P = 2(w + l)
528 = 2(120 + l)
Now, let's simplify and solve for l:
528 = 240 + 2l
2l = 528 - 240
2l = 288
l = 288 / 2
l = 144
Therefore, the length of the kitchen is 144 inches.
To find the length of the kitchen, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:
Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Width)
We know that the perimeter of the kitchen is 528 inches, and the width is 120 inches. Let's substitute these values into the formula and solve for the length.
528 = 2 × (Length + 120)
Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate (Length + 120):
264 = Length + 120
Subtract 120 from both sides of the equation:
264 - 120 = Length
144 = Length
Therefore, the length of the kitchen is 144 inches.
