If you do not know the length and width of ALL sides, then as far as I know it isn't possible to find the perimeter unless you measure each side and then find it.

You divide the perimeter by the width and you get the lenght
If the shape is a rectangle, then Perimeter = 2(Length + Width) So Width = Perimeter/2 - Length
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 = 2 * width + 2 * length, so rearranging --> width = (Perimeter / 2) - length
