The perimeter of a rectangle is 222 millimeters. If the length of the rectangle is 60 millimeters, what is the width of the rectangle

1 answer

Let's assume that the width of the rectangle is "w" millimeters.

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula:

P = 2(l + w)

where P is the perimeter, l is the length, and w is the width.

We are given that the perimeter of the rectangle is 222 millimeters and the length is 60 millimeters. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

222 = 2(60 + w)

Simplifying the equation, we get:

111 = 60 + w

Subtracting 60 from both sides, we get:

w = 51

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 51 millimeters.
