Perimeter formula
P = 2L + 2W
60 = 2L + 2(12)
60 = 2L+ 24
Transpose 24
60 - 24 = 2L + 24 - 24
36 = 2L
36 / 2 = 2L / 2
36 / 2 = L
18 = L
The Length is 18 inches

The formula for perimeter is given by P=2L + 2W. This means that the perimeter is equal to 2 times the length plus 2 times the width. So... if you perimeter is 60 inches and your width is 12 you would just substitute those numbers into the formula. Then you would have 60 = 2L + 24. Subtract 24 from both sides and then divide by 2 to solve for L and you get 18... so your length is 18 inches.

18 inches sine the width is a total of 24 inches, then the length would be a total of 36 inches (60 inches all together). To get the length of 1 side you divide 36 by 2 = 16

two sides are each 12 inches. 60-12-12 = 36.
Divide that in half to get length on other two sides = 18

12X2=24 equals 2 sides that are parella to each other
60-24= 36 equals missing two sides total
36/2= 18 equals ur answer

I would like to answer your question but you forgot to mention in which dimensional matrix your rectangle resides. For 6 dimensions the answer would be 1.24^12 miles.
