More information is needed. One of the sides or the diagonal length has to be known, unless you have a square, in which case you divide the perimeter by 4.

perimeter = 2 x (length + width) ⇒ length + width = perimeter ÷ 2 ⇒ length = (perimeter ÷ 2) - width So to find the length of the given rectangle, subtract the width from half the perimeter is how to do it. IF you meant "What is the length..." then: length = perimeter ÷ 2 - width = 40 ÷ 2 - 2 in = 20 - 2 in = 18 in
Length + length + width + width = perimeter. Length + width x 2 = perimeter
Perimeter minus two times the width will give you the two times the length. Area is found by multiplying the length by the width.
Perimeter = 2 * width + 2 * length, so rearranging --> width = (Perimeter / 2) - length
you need length and width length multiply width = area length + length + width + width = perimeter
