The perimeter of a sheet of paper is 38 centimeters. If the width of the paper is 8 centimeters what is the length of the paper
Let's assume that the length of the paper is "L" centimeters.
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula:
Perimeter = 2 x (Length + Width)
We know that the perimeter of the paper is 38 centimeters and the width is 8 centimeters. So, we can substitute these values in the formula and solve for the length:
38 = 2 x (L + 8)
38 = 2L + 16
2L = 38 - 16
2L = 22
L = 11
Therefore, the length of the paper is 11 centimeters.
