Width of rectangle is 8.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of rectangle = x+4

Width of rectangle = 12x

Perimeter = 26 cm

We need to find width of rectangle.

The formula used is:

$Perimeter=2(length+width)$

Putting values and finding x first:

$Perimeter=2(length+width)$

$26=2(x+4+12x)$

$26=2(13x+4)$

$26=26x+8$

$26-8=26x$

$26x=18$

$x=\frac{18}{26}$

$x=0.7$

So, value of x is 0.7

Now width= 12x = 12(0.7)

=8.4 cm

So, width of rectangle is 8.4 cm.
