The perimeter of a plane figure is the distance around it.

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

From the information given,

Perimeter = 208 cm, Width = 50 cm

Therefore,

208 = 2(length + 50)

By dividing both sides of the equation by 2, it becomes

104 = length + 50

length = 104 - 50

length = 54 cm

Length of rectangle is 54 cm
