Question

A rectangle has 2 sides that are each 6 centimeters lo[ng. The perimeter is 22 centimeters. How long are the other sides?

​

Answer 1

The other sides = 5 centimeters.

Explanation:

Let's assume the length of the other two sides of the rectangle is "x" centimeters.

A rectangle has two pairs of equal sides. Therefore, we can set up the equation for the perimeter of the rectangle:

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

Given:

Length = 6 centimeters

Perimeter = 22 centimeters

Using the equation, we can substitute the given values:

22 = 2(6 + x)

Simplifying further:

22 = 12 + 2x

Subtracting 12 from both sides:

10 = 2x

Dividing both sides by 2:

5 = x

Therefore, the length of the other two sides of the rectangle is 5 centimeters.

Answer 2

5 each
