Question 772063: The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of of the lengths of its four sides. If the width is 6 inches and its perimeter is 40 inches, find the length of the perimeter. Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perimeter = 2*length + 2*width
40 = 2L + 2(6)
40 = 2L + 12
2L = 40 - 12
2L = 28
Length = 14 inches.
Hope this helps.
