Answer:

So the rectangle's width = 8 m

Explanation:

Given:

Length = 14 m

Perimeter= 44 m

To Find:

Width = ?

Solution:

We are given the length and perimeter of a rectangle and have to find the value of width. This we can find by the formula of perimeter of rectangle

So the formula for it is

Perimeter = 2( length + width)

Putting the values

44 = 2(14+width)

it becomes

44 = 28 + 2*width

subtracting 28 from both sides

44-28 = 28 -28 + 2*width

16 = 2*width

Dividing both sides by 2

16/2 = width

8 = width

or

width = 8 m
