Steve built a rectangular table that is 72 inches long and has a perimeter of 240 inches.

What is the width of Steve's table?

Asked by Jadeyn

Answer (3)

2L + 2W = P
L = 72 W = ? p = 240
2(72) + 2W = 240 144 +2W = 240 2W = 96
W = 48

2(l+w)=P 72 x 2= 144 240 - 144= 96 96/2= 48 your answer would be 48in. check 2(72+48)= 240 144+96= 240 240=240
