the perimeter of the top of a desk is 54 inches . if the length of the desk is 15 . what is the is the width of the desk

Sagot :

12 is the width because a desk is usually a rectangle so if the length on one side is 15 the other is also 15. So 15 + 15= 30. Then if you subtract 55 by 30 you get 24. Nd there's two side so if u do 24 divided by two u get 12
