Answer:
The Width of each side of the bookmark in centimeters = 5cm
Explanation:
A bookmark shaped like a rectangle has a total perimeter of38cm the length of the one of its sides is 14 what is the width of each side of the bookmark in centimeters
The formula for perimeter fo a rectangle =
P = 2L + 2W
Where L = Length
W = Width
Hence: From the above question:
38cm = 2 × 14 cm + 2 W
38cm = 28cm + 2W
2W = 38cm - 28cm
2W = 10cm
W = 10cm/2
W = 5cm
Hence, the Width of the rectangle(each side of the bookmark in centimeters) = 5cm
