The rectangle is 17 inches long and 8 inches shorter. Find the perimeter of this rectangle.

1. Let’s determine what the width of the rectangle is equal to if it is shorter than the length by 8 dm:
17 dm – 8 dm = 9 dm.
2. Add twice the length and width of the rectangle to get the perimeter of the rectangle:
Perimeter = 2 * 9 + 2 * 17 = 18 + 34 = 52 dm.
Answer: The perimeter of the rectangle is 52 meters.
