7 inches because if 5 is on both sides you add them and get 10. then you subtract 24-10 and get 14 and for 2 side lengths you divide 14 by 2 and 7.

Answer:

7 inches

Explanation:

I cant see the illustration, but I will assume it is a rectangle. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P=2w+2l

let P represent the perimeter of the window in inches

let w represent the width of the window in inches

let l represent the length of the widow in inches

(L is l whereas one is 1)

So we know w=5 and P=24

This lets us have the equation 24= 2 x 5 + 2l

24=10 + 2l

14=2l

7=l
