The perimeter of a rectangle is 36gm . If it is 12cm long find it’s width

Answer 1

Let's assume that the width of the rectangle is x cm.

Since the perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula 2(length + width), we can write the equation:

2(12 + x) = 36
24 + 2x = 36
2x = 12
x = 6

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 6 cm.
