The length of the given rectangle is 10 units.

Here, we are given that the perimeter of a rectangle is 36 units.

A rectangle is a figure with 4 sides and opposite sides equal. The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated using the given formula-

Perimeter = 2 ( length + breadth )

Here, the breadth (width) is given to be 8 units.

Let the length be x units.

Then, we can form the following equation-

Perimeter = 2( x + 8 )

36 = 2x + 16

36 - 16 = 2x

20 = 2x

2x = 20

x = 20/2

x = 10

Thus, the length of the given rectangle is 10 units.
