The length of the rectangle is 1 dm 6 cm, and the width is 7 cm less. Find the perimeter of the rectangle

to begin with, let’s translate the given length of the rectangle into centimeters for ease of calculation:
1 dm 6 cm = 16cm
now we can find the width of this rectangle. based on the condition of the problem, it is 7cm less long, which means:
16cm – 7cm = 9cm
knowing the length and width of the rectangle, we find the sum of all its sides, which will be the perimeter:
16 + 16 + 9 + 9 = 50cm
Answer: P = 50cm
