The length of one side of the rectangle is 12 cm and the length of the other side is 4 cm less.

The length of one side of the rectangle is 12 cm and the length of the other side is 4 cm less. Calculate the perimeter of the rectangle.

The length of one side is known. Find the length of the other side by reducing the first by 4 centimeters:

12 – 4 = 8 cm.

Now that both sides are known, we calculate the perimeter as the sum of the lengths of the sides:

2 * (12 + 8) = 40 cm.

Answer: The perimeter of the rectangle is 40 centimeters.
