​

Answer 1

Answer:

The length is of 59 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle:

The perimeter of a rectangle with width w and length l is given by:

$P = 2(w + l)$

Width of 49 centimeters and a perimeter of 216 centimeters:

This means that $w = 49, P = 216$

The length is cm.

We have to solve the equation for l. So

$P = 2(w + l)$

$216 = 2(49 + l)$

$216 = 98 + 2l$

$2l = 118$

$l = \frac{118}{2}$

$l = 59$

The length is of 59 cm.
