A rectangle has a width of 4 centimeters and a perimeter of 26 centimeters. Find the length.

length = 9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter = p = 26 cm

width = w = 4 cm

perimeter of a rectangle = 2*w+2*L

L = length

so we have:

26 = 2 * (4) + 2*L

26 = 8 + 2L

26-8 = 2L

18 = 2L

L = 18/2

L = 9 cm = length

Length would be 9 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle has a width of 4 centimeters and a perimeter of 26 centimeters.

Perimeter = 2 (Length + Width)

Let the length of the rectangle be 'L'

2 (L + 4) = 26

2L + 8 = 26

2L = 26 - 8

2L = 18

L = 18/2

L = 9

Length would be 9 centimeters.
