The length of one side of the rectangle is 4 cm, the other is 3 cm less, find the perimeter of this rectangle.

Given that the length of the rectangle is 4 cm, and its width is 3 cm less, we can determine what the width of the rectangle is.

After all, we know that “… less” indicates the action of subtraction.

4 cm – 3 cm = 1 cm – the width of the rectangle.

If the width is 1 cm, and the length is 4 cm, then we can find what the perimeter of such a figure is equal to.

To do this, fold the width and length of the figure twice.

1 cm + 1 cm + 4 cm + 4 cm = 10 cm – the perimeter of the rectangle.

Answer: The perimeter of this rectangle is 10 centimeters.
