The length of a rectangle is 60cm and the perimeter 140cm, find the width

Answer 1

Let's use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

We know that the length is 60cm and the perimeter is 140cm, so we can substitute those values into the formula:

140cm = 2(60cm + width)

Now we can simplify and solve for the width:

140cm = 120cm + 2width
20cm = 2width
width = 10cm

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 10cm.
