You can put this solution on YOUR website!
perimeter of rectangle = length + length+ width+ width or 2L+2W
\n" ); document.write( "plug into the formula information that you have.
\n" ); document.write( "perimeter=42
\n" ); document.write( "length =13
\n" ); document.write( "width = x
\n" ); document.write( "42= (13)2+ 2W
\n" ); document.write( "42=26+2w
\n" ); document.write( "16=2W
\n" ); document.write( "W= 8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Width= 8 units
\n" ); document.write( "
