The main job of the colon is the reabsorption of water and salts from chyme that enters into it from the small intestine. As the water is drawn out it turns into feces. For this reason it has to be wider than the small intestine, which is about an inch in diameter. On average the colon is about four feet long and two inches wide in most places. Some parts, like the cecum, can be wider, up to three inches, while other places, like the anal canal, can be a bit narrower if it is empty. The colon is also known as the large intestine. It is divided into four segments, totaling approximately 60 inches on average.
1) The Ascending colon connects to the small intestine, and is about 8 inches long.
2) The Transverse colon is usually over 18 inches long and extends from the hepatic flexure, across the upper abdomen to the splenic flexure.
3) The Descending colon is usually less than 12 inches long and extends from the splenic flexure downwards to the start of the pelvis.
4) The Sigmoid colon is S-shaped and is about 18 inches long. It extends from the descending colon to the rectum. The rectum measures from 4-6 inches in length.

What are the dimensions of a table if the perimeter is 36 and the length is 5 times the width?
perimeter = length + length + width + width = 2*length + 2*width = 36 length = 5*width 2*(5*width) + 2*width = 36 12*width = 36 width = 3 length = 15
How do you you get the length if you have the area and the width?
Area = length x width Length = area/width

How do you find the length if you already have the width and the area?
If Length * Width = Area, then Area ÷ width = Length
How do you find the length if the width and area is given?
Area = (length) times (width)Length = (area) divided by (width)Width = (area) divided by (length)

If the perimeter is 48 If the length is twic the width what is the length of rectangle?
perimeter = (2*length) + (2*width) length = 2*width so perimeter = (2*2*width) + 2*width = 6*width perimeter = 48 so you can figure out the width and length
