The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(L + W), where L is the length and W is the width.
Then 16 = 2(L + W) : 8 = L + W.
And L = W - 8, or W = L - 8
So, if you were dealing integers, you can choose any two numbers between 1 and 7 so that the numbers when added equal 8.

The greatest area that a rectangle can have is, in fact, attained when it is a square. A square with perimeter of 16 cm must have sides of 4 cm and so an area of 4*4 = 16 cm2.
the answer is 16 cm and that is the perimeter.
The perimeter is the sum of the four sides. In this case, two sides have 14 cm each, and the other two sides have 5 cm eacn.
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding up the lengths of all its sides. In this case, the length is 15 centimeters and the width is 10 centimeters. To find the perimeter, you would add up all four sides: 15 cm + 10 cm + 15 cm + 10 cm = 50 cm. Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 50 centimeters.
16 cm x 3 sides = 16 x 3 = 48 cm perimeter.
