  1. P = 2L + 2W

    74 = 2(W + 15) + 2W

    74 = 2W + 30 + 2W

    74 - 30 = 4W

    44 = 4W

    11 = W

  2. P = 2L + 2W

    74 = 2(W + 15) + 2W

    74 = 2W + 30 + 2W

    74 - 30 = 4W

    44 = 4W

    11 = W

  3. P = 2L + 2W

    74 = 2(W + 15) + 2W

    74 = 2W + 30 + 2W

    74 - 30 = 4W

    44 = 4W

    11 = W
