Answer:
96 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Because we already have the perimeter, we have to solve the formula for L (length). To do this, simply subtract 2W (width) from both sides so that we're left with 2L by itself. The formula is now 2L= P-2W. When we plug in the numbers we get 2L= 20'-2(2'). All we have to do is solve for L.
2L= 20'-4'
2L=16'
[tex]\frac{2L}{2}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{16}{2}[/tex]
L=8'
We need the answer to be in inches, so multiply 8(12) to get 96''
