1. The width is 2 meters.
- The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated as 2 × (length + width). Given the perimeter is 34 meters and the length is 15 meters, we can set up the equation: 2 × (15 + width) = 34. Solving for width: (15 + width) = 17, so width = 17 - 15 = 2 meters.
2. The perimeter is 130 meters.
- Perimeter = 2 × (length + width) = 2 × (50 m + 15 m) = 2 × 65 m = 130 meters.
3. The perimeter is 42 centimeters.
- Perimeter = 2 × (length + width) = 2 × (15 cm + 6 cm) = 2 × 21 cm = 42 centimeters.
4. The perimeter is 30 centimeters.
- Perimeter = 2 × (length + width) = 2 × (10 cm + 5 cm) = 2 × 15 cm = 30 centimeters.
5. The area is 36 square feet.
- The area of a square is calculated as side × side. With each side being 6 feet, the area is 6 ft × 6 ft = 36 square feet.
6. The perimeter is 44 centimeters.
- Perimeter = 2 × (length + width) = 2 × (18 cm + 4 cm) = 2 × 22 cm = 44 centimeters.
