Find The Length Of A Rectangle If The Perimeter Is 38 Inches And The Width Is 8 Inches?

First draw a picture of a rectangle: There are 2 equal lengths and 2 equal widths. The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum total of all 4 sides.

Length + Width + Length + Width = Perimeter.
Length + 8" + Length + 8" = 38"

Take away the two Widths: 38" - 8" - 8" = 22"
That leaves you with two Lengths,
So one Length will equal (22"/2) = 11"

Do not be intimidated by math. Just visualize the problem and solve it one step at a time. Good luck.

Add 38 and 38 get 76, then add 8 and 8 get 16 and 76 and 16 and get for your final answer 92
