Mathematics
I can find an unknown side length when I know the perimeter.
Look: perimeter 14, length 4
- The two long sides use 4 + 4 = 8.
- 14 − 8 = 6 is left for the two short sides.
- 6 ÷ 2 = 3, so the width is 3. Check: 4 + 3 + 4 + 3 makes 14.
Find the missing side. Check by adding all the sides.
