Question

The perimeter of a rectangle was 18 m the length of the rectangle 6 m was the width meters

Answer 1

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding up the lengths of all four sides. In this case, if the perimeter is 18 meters and the length of the rectangle is 6 meters, we can determine the width by subtracting the length from the perimeter and dividing by 2 (since the opposite sides of a rectangle are equal in length).

Perimeter = 2(length + width)
18 = 2(6 + width)
18 = 12 + 2width
6 = 2width
width = 3 meters

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 3 meters.
