Question

A rectangle has a perimeter of 26 cm and one of its sides has a length of 5 cm sketch a rectangle and label all of its sides lengths

Answer 1

Im thinking both shorter sides are 5cm, and the 2 longer sides are 8cm each... add them all together and you get 26cm

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of rectangle given = 26 cm

And measure of a side of the rectangle = 5 cm

Since perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

By replacing the values of perimeter and length in the formula

26 = 2(5 + width)

5 + width = $\frac{26}{2}=13$

width = 13 - 5 = 8 cm

Now we can draw a rectangle of length = 5 cm and width = 8 cm
