A city is building a fence around a rectangular playground. If the perimeter of the playground is 90 feet and the length of one side of the fence is 26 feet, what is the width of the playground?.

We can conclude that the width of the rectangular ground is 19ft.

What is a rectangle?

A quadrilateral with all of its angles equal, or right angles, is a rectangle.

In addition to having all equal angles, a square also has all equal sides. Therefore, a special case of a square is a rectangle.

To put it another way, a rectangle can also be a square.

So, we know that:

The perimeter of the rectangular ground is 90ft.

The length of the rectangular ground is 26ft.

Now, the width will be:

Perimeter of rectangle formula: P =  2(l+w)

Now, put the values and substitute as follows:

P =  2(l+w)

90 =  2(26+w)

90 = 52 + 2w

2w = 90 - 52

2w = 38

w = 38/2

w = 19ft

Therefore, we can conclude that the width of the rectangular ground is 19ft.
