What is the perimeter of a rectangle if it is 6m long and 500cm shorter than the length?

First, let’s put all the values in one unit of measurement. 1 meter is 100 centimeters. Then 500: 100 = 5 meters.

Now part of the problem statement is as follows: the length is 6 m, and the width is 5 m less:

6 m – 5 m = 1 m.

Side length 6 m, width 1 m. The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of all sides:

6 m + 1 m + 6 m + 1 m = 14 m.

Let’s convert 14 meters to centimeters:

14 * 100 cm = 1400 cm.
