    A formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W. If you know the perimeter (P) and width (W) of a rectangle, which formula can you use to find the length (L)?

    Let's assign some numbers to the P and W.


    Perimeter can equal 36


    Width can equal 8


    2L + 2W = P


    2L + 2(8) = 36


    2L + 16 = 36


    2L + 16 - 16 = 36 -16


    2L = 20


    2L/2 = 20/2


    L = 10


    Confirmation:


    2L + 2W = P


    2(10) + 2(8) = 36


    20 + 16 = 36

     L=(P/2) -W
