Q. The perimeter of a rectangular red sticker is 44 millimeters. It is 19 millimeters wide. How tall is it?____ millimeters
Understand formula for perimeter: Step 1: Understand the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle. The formula for the perimeter P of a rectangle is P=2(l+w), where l is the length and w is the width.
Substitute given values: Step 2: Substitute the given values into the perimeter formula.Given P=44mm and w=19mm,44=2(l+19).
Solve for length: Step 3: Solve for l (the length, which in this context is the height of the sticker).44=2(l+19)22=l+19 (Divide both sides by 2)l=22−19l=3 mm.
