Answer:

The length is 24.

Explanation:

The equation for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2l+2w

Therefore, we have the equation

P=2l+2w

Next, we plug the values we know into the equation.

124=2l+2(38)

Next, we can simplify that

124=2l+76

Subtract 76 from both sides

48=2l

Divide both sides by 2.

l=24
