The length of the rectangle is 7 cm, the width is 3 cm shorter. We calculated its perimeter.

Let’s calculate the width of this rectangle.

According to the condition of the problem, the length of this rectangle is 5 cm, and its width is 3 cm shorter, therefore, the width of this rectangle is:

5 – 3 = 2 cm.

Find the perimeter P of a given rectangle as the doubled sum of the length and width of this rectangle:

P = 2 * (5 + 3) = 2 * 8 = 16 cm.

Answer: the perimeter of this rectangle is 16 cm.
