The width of the rectangle is 2 cm. What is its length if the perimeter is 12 cm?

Express the length and width of the perimeter rectangle.

Since the opposite sides are equal, we divide 12 centimeters into 2 equal parts.

The result will be:

12/2 = 6 cm.

To determine the length of a rectangle, subtract the width of the shape from the found sum of its sides.

As a result, we get:

6 – 2 = 4 cm.

From this it follows that its area will be:

4 * 2 = 8 cm2

Answer: The length of the rectangle is 4 cm.
