The perimeter of a shape is not sufficient information to determine its width. First of all, there is no reason to suppose that the area is rectangular as opposed to circular or triangular or some other simple or complicated shape. Even if you assume that it is a rectangle, and that the longer dimension is called the length, the width could take any one of the infinite number of values in the range (0, 8).

If you have a perimeter of 24 and a area of 32 what is the lenght and width?
The answer is Length 4 and Width -8.
What is the width of a rectangle with the perimeter of 32 feet and length of 9 feet?
7 feet
What has the greater perimeter a square with side eight units or rectangle with length 14 units and width two units?
They will be both the same because the perimeter of the square is 32 units and the perimeter of the rectangle is also 32 units
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.
How can you get the width when you have the perimeter and the length?
If the shape is a rectangle, then Perimeter = 2(Length + Width) So Width = Perimeter/2 - Length
