The perimeter of a rectangle is not sufficient to determine its length.
the area of a rectangle = length x widthwe can rearrange this to give uslength of a rectangle = area/ width
15 feet.
A rectangle by definition has two pairs of sides with equal length. Since perimeter equals the length of all the sides. The equation for the perimeter of a rectangle could be thought of as: 2L + 2W = P Where L represents the length of one side of the rectangle and W represents the length of the adjacent (next to) side of the rectangle. If you know the length of one side and the perimeter, plug those values in as L and P and then solve for W. That will give you L and W which are the dimensions of the rectangle.
The area of a rectangle with a width of 9 and length of 23 is 207 square units.
