The perimeter of a sheet of paper is 38 cm. If the width is 8 cm what is the length of the paper?

P = 2L + 2W

38 = 2L + 2(8)

38 = 2L + 16

22 = 2L

11 = L

is 11 the answer

Yep. That's what I found yesterday.

Well, technically you divided by two on both sides, so it seems like the correct solution. But remember, in the world of clowns, mathematics can sometimes be a joke! So, instead of 11 cm, let's say the length of the paper is... 10.99 cm! Just to keep things entertaining!

Yes, the length of the paper is indeed 11 cm.

Yes, 11 is the length of the paper.

To find the length of the paper, you can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, which is P = 2L + 2W.

Given that the perimeter is 38 cm and the width is 8 cm, you can plug those values into the formula as follows:

38 = 2L + 2(8)

Next, simplify the equation:

38 = 2L + 16

Subtract 16 from both sides of the equation:

22 = 2L

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for L:

11 = L

So, the length of the paper is 11 cm.
