Answer:

Width = 24 cm

Explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

P = 2l + 2w, where

  • P is the perimeter,
  • l is the length,
  • and w is the width.

We can find the width, w, by substituting 106 for P and 29 for l:

106 = 2(29) + 2w

(106 = 58 + 2w) - 58

(48 = 2w) / 2

24 = w

Thus, the width is 24 cm.
