Question

let p be the perimeter of a rectangle, and let one side of the rectangle be x

PLEASE SHOW WORK

Answer 1

That is the length in terms of p and x.

L = p/2 - x

How to get the length of the other side in terms of x and p?

For a rectangle of length L and width W, the perimeter is:

P  = 2*(L + W).

Here we know that the perimeter is p, so P = p, and let's say that the width is x.

Then we can write:

p = 2*(L + x)

Solving for L:

L = p/2 - x

That is the length in terms of p and x.
