The perimeter of a rectangle is 34 units. Its width is 6.5 units.
Write an equation to determine the length (l) of the rectangle.
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)
Given:
Perimeter = 34 units
Width = 6.5 units
Therefore, the equation will be:
2(l + 6.5) = 34
Simplify the equation:
2l + 13 = 34
Subtract 13 from both sides of the equation:
2l = 21
Divide by 2 on both sides of the equation:
l = 10.5
Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 10.5 units.
