The perimeter of the rectangle is 32 m One side is 11m space, m long. What is the length of the missing side?

Hello!

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is: P = 2 (l + w). In this formula, P is the perimeter, l is the length, and w is the width.

Suppose the length of the rectangle is 11 meters. We can substitute that value into our formula and solve for the missing side.

32 = 2 (11 + w) (use the distributive property)

32 = 22 + 2w (subtract 22 from both sides)

10 = 2w (divide both sides by 2)

w = 5

Therefore, the length of the missing side is 5 meters.
