What is the area of the rectangle?
Tap to reveal answer
The perimeter of a figure is the sum of the lengths of all its sides. Every rectangle has two sets of two equal-length sides. One set of sides is 
each, or 
when added together.
We subtract 
from the total 
perimeter to find the lengths of the remaining sides.
Since there are two remaining sides, the length of each of the remaining sides must be 
.
