For a rectangle,
perimeter=2width%2B2length .
Expressing perimeter, length, and width in cm,
if width=25, and perimeter is at least 460 cm,
system%28width=25%2C2width%2B2length%3E=460%29--->2%2A25%2B2length%3E=460--->50%2B2length%3E=460--->2length%3E=460-50--->2length%3E=410--->length%3E=410%2F2--->length%3E=205
