Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 28 cm and it’s length is 8cm .calculate the width

Answer 1

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation: the length is 8 cm so, times that by 2 because there are 2 lengths which makes it 16cm. Now you subtract 16 from the 28cm which is 12cm divide this by 2 because there are two widths this equals 6 cm

Therefore; our width is 6 cm

To check if this is right you can add all the values= 8+8+6+6= 28cm

Answer 2

The width is 16 cm

Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle=28 cm

length=8cm

width=?

P=28

=L+W

=8+8=16

=6+6=12

=16+12

=28 cm

Therefore, the width is 6+6=16 cm
