The perimeter of a rectangular town is 32 miles. its width is 5 miles find the length

The perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as:

P = perimeter

l = length

w = width

P = 2 (l + w)

Plug in our values to the formula mentioned above

32 m = 2 (l + 5).

Start by dividing each side by 2.

16 = l + 5.

Subtract 5 from each side.

11 = l.

The length of your town is 11 miles
