Your school football team wants to make a new banner to display at the district tournament. The rectangular banner will be dark red, with a white ribbon border. The length of the banner needs to be 15 feet. What are the possible widths of the banner if the length of ribbon available is 46 feet?

Respuesta :

Answer: Possible width of the banner would be 8 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of the banner = 15 feet

Length of ribbon available = 46 feet

Since the banner is in the form of rectangle using dark red with white ribbon border.

So, perimeter of banner would be 46 feet.

As we know the formula for "Perimeter of rectangle":

Perimeter = 2( length + Breadth)

[tex]46=2(15+w)\\\\46=30+2w\\\\46-30=2w\\\\16=2w\\\\\dfrac{16}{2}=w\\\\w=8\ feet[/tex]

Hence, Possible width of the banner would be 8 feet.
