Finding the Width of Rectangles

In this video, Mr. Q guides students through solving a geometry problem from the FSA mathematics practice test. The problem involves finding the width of a rectangle given its length and perimeter. Mr. Q explains the importance of visualizing the problem by drawing the shape and then provides a three-step process to calculate the missing width. The video concludes with instructions on how to fill in the answer on the test grid.
