Question 762044: the perimeter of a rectangle equals the sum of the lengths of its for sides. if the with of a rectangle is 3 inches and its perimeter is 32 inches find the length of the rectangle Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perimeter = 2*length + 2*width
32ins = 2*length + 2*3
32ins = 2*length + 6
32 - 6 = 2*length
26ins = 2*length
length = 26/2
length = 13ins
