The perimeter of a rectangle is 52 inches the rectangle is 18 inches long how wide is the rectangle

To find the width, multiply the length that you have been given by 2, and subtract the result from the perimeter. You now have the total length for the remaining 2 sides. This number divided by 2 is the width.

So 18*2=36

Then 52-36=16

Then divid 16 by 2 because 16 is the result for both widths.

Answer, The width is 8.
