Th perimeter of a rectangle is 36cm, if it is 112 long, find the width

Answer 1

Let the width of the rectangle be W.

Given that the perimeter is 36 cm, we have:
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
36 = 2(112 + W)
36 = 224 + 2W
2W = 36 - 224
2W = -188
W = -94

Since width cannot be negative, it seems like there may be an error in the given value for the length of the rectangle.
