ok sorry. The formula for the perimiter of the rectangle is P=2L+2w. Find the area of a rectangle that has a perimiter P of18 centimeters and length L of 6 centimeters.

well perimeter is how far around the shape so 2 times the length(length is how tall like vertical) +2 times (width is how long like horizontal)= perimeter
say the perimeter is 18 inches
and the length is 6 in
6in.*2+in.w*2= 18in
6 * 2= 12
18-12= 6
6divided by 2( do the opposite of multiply by 2)=3
6in*2+3in*2=18
width= 3 in.
