When given the perimeter how do you find the length and width?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

you have to add all of the outside to get the perimeter of the answer.

Answer 3

The perimeter is two times the length plus two times the width. If you have two variables, solve for the third one.

P = 2L + 2 W
