The perimeter of a rectangle is 42 inches. If the width of the rectangle is 6 inches what is the length
To find the length of the rectangle, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
Given that the perimeter is 42 inches and the width is 6 inches, we can plug in these values and solve for the length:
42 = 2(length + 6)
42 = 2length + 12
30 = 2length
length = 15
Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 15 inches.
