The length of the rectangle is 16 cm, the width is 2 times less, find the side of the square with the same perimeter.

The perimeter is equal to the sum of the lengths of all sides of the rectangle, that is, P = 16 + 16 + 2 + 2 = 36 cm.

The perimeter of the square is also equal to the sum of the lengths of all sides, but since all sides are equal, then P = 4a, which means 4a = 36.

a = 36/4;

a = 9.

9 cm is the length of the side of the square.

Answer: 9 centimeters.
