Side of a rectangle from its perimeter
Test your understanding of side of a rectangle from perimeter by practicing it! Work through the below exercises to use it in practice.
🎙️
Let's find the height of this rectangle given its perimeter and width
🎙️
We know that perimeter is twice the sum of width plus height
🎙️
So we can plug our numbers in for width and perimeter. If we divide both sides by 2 it is a simpler problem
🎙️
Solving for h, our height is 4.
