    Perimeter of a rectangle=2 (length) + 2 (widh)

    dа ta:

    Perimeter=92 feet

    length=28 ft

    therefore:

    92 feet=2 (28 feet) + 2 (width)

    2 (width) = 92 feet-56 feet

    2 (width) = 36 feet

    width=36 feet/2

    width=18 feet.

    Answer: C. 18 feet.

    You should use the general formula for the perimeter of a rectangle which would be p=2 (l+w). We then substitute 92 for the perimeter and 28 for the length. We now have 92=2 (28+w). following this, we have 46=28+w and then w=18. The width is 18 feet so C is the answer.

    I think this is right.
