Bob fenced in his backyard. The perimeter of the yard is 22 feet, and the length of his yard is 5 feet. Use the perimeter formula to find the width of the rectangular yard in inches:

P = 2L + 2W

A. 6 in.

B. 12 in.

C. 72 in.

D. 144 in.

A

Step-by-step explanation:

72 inches I took the test

Answer: C. 72 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the perimeter is 22, take out 10, or (5 * 2) to get 12 Now divide 12 by 2 to get 6. Since the answer is in inches, multiply by 12 to get 72 inches.

Proof:

P = 2L + 2W

22 = 2 (5) + 2 (6)

22 = 10 + 12

22 = 22
