the perimeter is all of the sides added up, the length and width would only give you half of the perimeter i think...

All that can definitely be said is that length plus width = 50 feet.
The answer will depend upon what shape the object is. For example, if the shape was a rectangle then the perimeter = (length + width) * 2. If the shape was something different then the relationship would also be different.
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
