Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by $2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width})$. Given the length is 12 meters and the total fencing (perimeter) is 30 meters, we can set up the equation: $2 \times (12 + \text{width}) = 30$. Solving for the width, we get $12 + \text{width} = 15$, so the width is 3 meters.
