Answer: 10 inches

Explanation:

a worksheet is usually a rectangle

the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2x + 2y

Lets say that x = the length and y = the height

it already gives you x = 14, so plug everything in to find y

P = 2x + 2y

48 = 2(14) + 2y

48 = 28 + 2y plug in x = 14 and multiply

20 = 2y subtract 28 from both sides to get this

y = 10 then divide both sides by 2 to get the answer
