The perimeter of a rectangle is 35.8 cm, and the sum of the lengths is 25.64 cm. What is the width of the rectangle?

Answer :

The formula of a perimeter of rectangle:

P = 2l + 2w

We have P = 35.8 cm and 2l = 25.64 cm.

Substitute:

25.64 + 2w = 35.8 subtract 25.64 from both sides

2w = 10.16 divide both sides by 2

w = 5.08

Answer: the width = 5.08 cm

The required, width of the rectangle is given as

What is a rectangle?

The rectangle is 4 sided geometric shape whose opposites are equal in lengths and all angles are about 90°.

What is the perimeter?

Perimeter is the measure of the figure on its circumference.

here,
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2L + 2B
35.8 = 25.64 + 2B
2B = 35.8 - 25.64
B = 10.16 /2
B = 5.08

Thus, the required, width of the rectangle is given as 5.08 cm.
