what is the length of a rectangle whose preimeter is p, if the width is 6 express using algebra

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]l=\dfrac{p}{2}-6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The perimeter of a rectangle = p

Width = 6

We need to find the length of the rectangle.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is given by :

[tex]p=2(l+b)[/tex]

l is length

Put b = 6

So,

[tex]p=2(l+6)\\\\\dfrac{p}{2}=l+6\\\\l=\dfrac{p}{2}-6[/tex]

So, the required length is equal to [tex]\dfrac{p}{2}-6[/tex].
