Let the length be known as x:
2(x+4) = 105
2x+8 = 105
2x = 105-8
2x = 97
x = 48.5
Length = 48.5 units

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
The width is half the length: The perimeter is twice the length plus twice the width. If the perimeter is 3 times the length, twice the width must be the length.
