Ialready have number one! i just need a rectangle has a perimeter of 116 centimeters and a length of 26 centimeters. what is the width of the rectangle? a. find the width of the rectangle. b. in two or more complete sentences, explain your steps in finding the width of the rectangle.

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the lengths of all 4 sides.two sides are lengths and two sides are widths.the perimeter is two lengths plus two widths.you know the perimeter and the length.subtract 2 lengths from the perimeter.that gives you 2 widths.then divide that by 2 to get the width.116 cm - 26 cm - 26 cm = 64 cm64 cm is 2 widths combined.64 cm/2 = 32 cmthe width is 32 cm.check: the perimeter is 26 cm + 26 cm + 32 cm + 32 cm.this adds to 116 cm, which is the perimeter we were given, so our width, 32 cm, is correct.
