The perimeter of a rectangular section of a roof is 96 yards. The length is 18 yards. What equation could you use to find the width w of this section of the roof?

36+2w=96

2w=96-36=60

w=60/2=30

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter is 96, that means length + length + width + width = 96.

say l is length and w is width.

since we know length is 18, 18+18+width+width = 96

36+2w=96

2w=96-36=60

w=60/2=30

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of the rectangle = length x width

P = 2 (l + w)

96 = 2 (18 + w)

96 = 36 + 2w

60 = 2w

w = 60/2

w = 30 cm

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
