Bailey is making a rectangle out of a 100cm length of rope he has. If the longer sides of the rectangle were 28cm long, what is the length of each of the shorter sides?
The longer sides are 2 in number so their total length of 2*28cm = <T>multiply(2, 28)=56cm
The rest of the length making up the short sides is 100-56 = <T>subtract(100, 56)=44 cm
There are two equal short sides so each one is 44/2 = <T>divide(44, 2)=22.0cm
