Question

A rectangle has a width of 57 centimeters and a perimeter of 232 centimeters. What is the rectangle’s length?

Answer 1

Length of the rectangle is
`59 cm`

Explanation:

A rectangle is a 2-D figure whose opposite sides are equal and its sides are at right angles.

Given:

Width of the rectangle=
`57cm`

Perimeter of the rectangle=
`232cm`

Perimeter of a rectangle=
`2(Length+width)`

`232=2(Length+57)\\\\232=2*Length+2(57)\\\\232=2*Length+114\\\\2*Length=232-114\\\\Length=(118)/(2)\\\\ Length=59cm`

Length of the rectangle is
`59 cm`
