Answer:

The Width of each side of the bookmark in centimeters = 5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A bookmark shaped like a rectangle has a total perimeter of38cm the length of the one of its sides is 14 what is the width of each side of the bookmark in centimeters

The formula for perimeter fo a rectangle =

P = 2L + 2W

Where L = Length

W = Width

Hence: From the above question:

38cm = 2 × 14 cm + 2 W

38cm = 28cm + 2W

2W = 38cm - 28cm

2W = 10cm

W = 10cm/2

W = 5cm

Hence, the Width of the rectangle(each side of the bookmark in centimeters) = 5cm
