The perimeter of a rectangle equals the sum of the lengths of its four sides.
\n" ); document.write( " If the width of a rectangle is 6 inches and its perimeter is 46 inches,
\n" ); document.write( " find the length of the rectangle.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let L = the length
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter equation:
\n" ); document.write( "2L + 2(6) = 46
\n" ); document.write( "2L + 12 = 46
\n" ); document.write( "2L = 46 - 12
\n" ); document.write( "2L = 34
\n" ); document.write( "L = 34/2
\n" ); document.write( "L = 17 inches, is the length
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this
\n" ); document.write( "2(17) + 2(6) = 46
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
