The perimeter of the rectangle is 4 m, and one of the sides is 60 cm. What is the other side of the rectangle?

A rectangle has opposite sides equal and parallel.

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the lengths of all its sides.

Formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle:

P = 2a + 2b;

P is the perimeter of the figure;

a and b are the length and width of the rectangle.

Using the formula, we find the value of the other side of the rectangle:

2 * 0.6 m + 2v = 4 m;

2v = 4 m – 1.2 m;

2b = 2.8 m;

h = 1.4 m.

Let’s check:

P = 2a + 2b = 2 * 0.6 m + 2 * 1.4 m = 4 m.

Answer: The other side of the rectangle is 1.4 m.
