Answer 6

the perimeter is 40.6 so I just doubled the length and subtracted it from the perimeter. After that I divided the difference in half.

Answer 7

I think i read the problem wrong. Hold on.

Answer 8

I got 7.6cm

Answer 9

P = 2(l + w)

P = 2l + 2w

40.6cm = 2(2.5cm - 2w) + 2w

Answer 10

Solve for w.

Answer 11

2.5 cm less than twice the width = 2.5cm - 2w
