Extract

Choose the best answer. If necessary, use the paper you were given.
A playground at a mall is in the shape of a rectangle, and there is a 144 foot long fence around it. If the rectangle is 6 feet longer than it is wide, what is the width, in feet, of the rectangle?

Answer Choices

  • A: 33
  • B: 39
  • C: 69
  • D: 75

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: We let width = w, then length = w + 6. So, 2(w + w + 6) = 144 → 4w + 12 = 144 → 4w = 132 → w = 33.
