The perimeter of the rectangle is 6cm. Find the width of the rectangle if it is known to be 2cm shorter than the length.

The perimeter is equal to the sum of the length and width multiplied by 2. Let’s make an equation, denoting the width for x: 2 (x + (x + 2)) = 6
2 (2x + 2) = 6
4x + 4 = 6
4x = 2
x = 0.5cm
