The perimeter of the rectangle is 44cm. Its length is 12cm. Find the perimeter of a square whose side is equal to the width of the rectangle.

1) Let X be the width of the rectangle.

2) Based on the condition of the problem, we compose the equation:

2 * (12 + X) = 44;

24 + 2 X = 44;

2 X = 44 – 24;

2 X = 20;

X = 10;

3) The perimeter of the square will be:

2 (10 + 10) = 40 cm;

Answer: The perimeter of the square will be 40 cm.
