Let X represent the length, then X-4 represents the width. Perimeter of the rectangle is length plus width multiplied by two. Hence, 2(X + X - 4) = 100; 4X - 8 = 100; 4X = 108; X = 27. The length is 27 mm and the width is 27 - 4 = 23 mm. width = w

length = w + 4

perimeter = w + w + w + 4 + w + 4 = 100

4w + 8 = 100

4w = 92

w = 23

width = 23

length = 27

area = 23 x 27 = 621

The length of a rectangle is fixed at 24 cm what widths will mame the perimeter greater than 100cm?

P (perimeter of a rectangle) = 2*l+2*w 2*24+2*w > 100 2*w > 52 w > 26 Any width greater than 26cm will cause the perimeter to be greater than 100cm.

The perimeter of a regtangle is one meter each longer side is 34cm what is the lenght of each sorter side?

The length of the shorter side is 16cm The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is p = 2a + 2b, p = 100cm, a = 34cm 2b = p - 2a = 100 - 68 = 32 b = 16cm

100cm in a meter, so 525cm.


What is the perimeter of 24cm by 100cm?

248cm. Why? Because it is a rectangle so the perimeter is length + length + width + width or just widthx2 + lengthx2. So, 24x2=48 and 100x2=200. 200+48=248cm.

What is the total length of the 100cm triangle in millimetres?

There are 10mm in a centimetre. Therefore to convert the perimeter, you multiply by 10. This gives you 1000 (i.e.100x10)mm


The length of a rectangle is 100cm what is the width of the rectangle if the perimeter is 6 times the width?

P = 2(100 + W) and P = 6W so 200 + 2W = 6W making 4W = 200 so W = 50 cm.This suggests that in any rectangle with a length twice the width, the perimeter is 6 times the width. eg 56 x 28: 56 + 28 = 84 x 2 = 168 = 6 x 28.Simple proof: P = 2 (L + W) but L = 2W so P = 2 (2W + W) = 2 x 3W = 6W. QED
