Answer:

Length=22 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter=56 cm

let width=x

According to given condition:

length=4x-2 ...........(A)

Perimeter=2(length+width)

Substitute the values in above formula:

56cm=2(4x-2+x)

56cm=2(5x-2)

56cm=10x-4

(56+4)=10x

60 cm=10x

x=60cm/10

x=6cm

For the value of length :

Substitute the value of x in equation (A):

Length=4x-2

Length=4(6)-2 cm

Length=24-2 cm

Length=22 cm
