So you hav 4 choices and one of those is right.  Well, perimiter means all the sides added together.  You know Width = 6.  So it must use a 6 in the answer.  That kills two of those right off.  So what is your idea for how you would find out the length and pick from the last two?

But i dont get wat it means by dimension

e.mccormick · Answer

OH! The length and width are the dimensions of a rectangle.  A dimension is a measurement of a side.  THE dimensions (plural) are the measurements of all sides.  Because it is a rectangle, they usually only give two because the other two are the same as the first two.

34 x 6
To solve for this, you might want to set up and equation, just so you don't get confused. Lets just say that x is the Length and y is the width, the equation would be 2x+ 2y= 80. Width= 6, we can substitute that into the equation, no we have  2x+ 12= 80, we are solving for the other dimension, x, subtract 12 from both sides, no we have 2x= 68, divide by 2 and we get 34. So, our other dimension is 34.

Final answer 34 x 6
