This is a simple description of finding the perimeter of a square or rectangle. It has 2 values to be added for length, and 2 to be added for width, the total sum equals the perimeter. If you add length and width and then multiply by 2 you can most likely arrive at the proper answer faster than adding the 4 values.

When given the perimeter how do you find the length and width?
Assuming you mean a rectangle: use the formula:p = 2(l+w) (i.e., perimeter equals twice length plus width). In this formula, replace p with the known perimeter, and l with the given length, then solve for width.
What is the perimeter of a rectangle whose with is 6?
I think you mean the width is 6. The answer depends entirely on what the length of the rectangle is. For example, if it is a square, so that the length and width are both 6, the answer is 24. I the length is 10, the perimeter is 32. In general, just add the width (6) to the length and double the sum to get the perimeter.
Do you add length plus width to get perimeter?
It depends on the shape, but I'm assuming you mean a square or rectangle. If it is not this shape, edit the question. In this equation L=Length W=Width So, to get the perimeter, you would use this equation: 2L+2W= Perimeter
How do you find diameter of a rectangle?
Do you mean perimeter? If so....2 x length + 2 x width.
If perimeter of a rectangle is 65 and the length is 18 what is the wength?
Do you mean the width? If so then let the width be x: 2(length+width) = perimeter 2(18+x) = 65 36+2x = 65 2x = 65-36 2x = 29 x = 14.5 width = 14.5 units in length Check: 18+18+14.5+14.5 = 65
