Question

what is the measure of the length of a rectangle with a perimeter of 10 inches and a width of 2 inches?

Answer 1

3 inches

Explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of all the sides of a shape. A rectangle has 4 sides.

2 * 2 = 4

One side is 2 in., so the parallel side is also 2 in.

10 - 4 = 6

Subtract the sum from the perimeter.

6 / 2 = 3

Since there are two sides left, divide by 2.
