The length is 13 and the width is 6. The way I figured it out is: find two factors of the area (that if multiplied with each other, they equal the area) and see which ones add up and then get multiplied by two to find the perimeter. I found 6 and 13 and then added them together to get 19. Then I multiplied 19 by two and got 38. This is how I have always done it idk.

Your answer is length = 13 and width = 6.
hope this helps :)

V=(pi)r 2 h. ( volume is equal to pi times radius squared times height). V= pi 2^2 x8
Pi times 4times8= pi times 32. Put in a calculator pi times 32 and you get 100.5 cubic inches ( I haven’t done this in awhile but I think this is correct)

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches less than twice its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 26 inches. What is the width
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

w= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

I just started by making an educated guess using the values already given. Then I inserted that into the problem to see if it worked.

L= 2w - 5

I used 6 as a random, educated guess for the value of w.

L = 2(6) - 5

L = 12-5

L = 7

Then, multiply L by 2 to account for both side lengths of the rectangle.

7(2)= 14

Subtract that value from the total perimeter to find what the width must equal.

26 - 14 = 12

Divide that answer by 2 since there are two sides for width.

12/2 = 6

I know this was kind of long, but I hope it helps! :)
