School Windows (Solve word problems to find the unknown side given the perimeter of a rectangular shape)

The video tutorial explains how to determine the width of a rectangular window given its perimeter and length. It begins by introducing the problem and explaining the concept of perimeter. The tutorial then applies the perimeter formula to solve for the unknown width, demonstrating the calculation step-by-step. Finally, it verifies the solution and concludes the lesson, reinforcing the understanding of using the perimeter formula to find unknown dimensions in rectangular shapes.

What is the perimeter of the rectangular window mentioned in the problem?

• 40 feet

• 32 feet

• 24 feet

• 16 feet

Which formula is used to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle?

• 2 x (Length + Width)

• Length x Width

• Length + Width

• 2 x Length + 2 x Width

If the length of the window is 8 feet, what is the total length contributed by the two lengths of the window?

• 20 feet

• 16 feet

• 12 feet

• 8 feet

What is the width of the window if the perimeter is 24 feet and the length is 8 feet?

• 3 feet

• 2 feet

• 5 feet

• 4 feet

How can you verify the calculated width of the window?

• By assuming the width is correct

• By using a different formula

• By measuring the window again

• By checking if the sum of twice the length and twice the width equals the perimeter
