The perimeter of the rectangle is 10cm. one side is known – 1cm. find the unknown side.

The perimeter of a rectangle whose opposite sides are equal corresponds to 10 cm.Consequently, the sum of its two unequal sides is 10: 2 = 5 cm.

The width is 1 cm, we find the length, denoting it for “x” we write down the letter expression:

x = 5 – 1 = 4.

Answer: The length of such a figure = 4 cm.
