2W+2L=366
2*85+2L=366
170+2L=366
2L=366-170
2L=196
L=196/2
L=98 CM. IS THE LENGTH,
PROOF:
2*85+2*98=366
170+196=366
366=366

The perimeter of a rectangular painting is 366 centimeters. If the width of the painting is 85 centimeters, what is its length?
---------------
The perimeter is the distance around the rectangle. If you start at a corner, it's 2 times the width + 2 times the length,
= 2L + 2W
2L + 2W = 366
L + W = 183
L + 85 = 183
L = 98 cm
