You are describing a cuboid, not a rectangle. A rectangle has only two diminutions, length and width.

If the shape is a rectangle, then Perimeter = 2(Length + Width) So Width = Perimeter/2 - Length
you need length and width length multiply width = area length + length + width + width = perimeter
Length + length + width + width = perimeter. Length + width x 2 = perimeter
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
A rectangle is a two dimensional figure. The question gives two dimensions (width and height) - you can't ask for a third dimension of 'length' because two are the limit.If you are looking for the length of the perimeter of this rectangle, it is 58.
