<PRE><B>Question 1054519</B>
If a wire is First bent into the shape of a triangle each side of the triangle is 14 centimeters long.
Note: So the wire is 3*14 = 52 cm long
----------------------
Then the wire is reshaped into a rectangle. If the length of the rectangle is 15 centimeters what is its width?
----
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
52 = 2(15+w)
26 = 15+w
width = 11 cm
