Answer:

Explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length+width)

In this case:

116 = 2(26+width)

116/2 = 26 + width

58 = 26 + width

58 - 26 = width

32 centimeters = width

b)

The formula for the perimer of a rectangle is twice the sum ofthe width and length. By not knowing the width it is cleared of the perimeter formula.
