Question 751203: The perimeter of the rectangle equals the sum of the lengths of its four sides. If the width of a rectangle is 6 inches and its perimeter is 40 inches, find the length of the rectangle. Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perimeter = 2 Lengths + 2 Widths
If the width of the rectangle is
6 inches, then the perimeter minus 2 widths
= 28 inches. Divide 28 by 2 and you have the length
of the rectangle = 14 inches.
