Rectangle perimeter is 232 cm and width is 56 cm. Using the perimeter formula and solving for length, we find the length is 60 cm.

Here's how we can find it:

We know the perimeter of the rectangle is 232 centimeters and the width is 56 centimeters. We can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle to find the length:

perimeter = 2 * (length + width)

where:

perimeter` is the total length of all the sides of the rectangle added together

length` is the length of the rectangle

width` is the width of the rectangle

We can rearrange the formula to solve for the length:

length = (perimeter - 2 * width) / 2

Plugging in the values we know, we get:

length = (232 cm - 2 * 56 cm) / 2 = 60.0 cm

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 60.0 centimeters.

Perimeter - 232 cm.
Width - 56 cm.
LENGTH - 60 cm.

56 232 120 ÷ 2 = 60
+56 - 112
112 120

60 + 60 + 56 + 56 = 232
