The formula for the perimeter (P) of a rectangle is,
[tex]P=2(w+l)[/tex]Given:
[tex]\begin{gathered} w=width=8inches \\ l=length=? \\ P=perimeter=26imches \end{gathered}[/tex]Substitute w = 8, P = 26 into the formula and solve for l
[tex]\begin{gathered} 26=2(8+l) \\ Divide\text{ both sides by} \\ \frac{26}{2}=\frac{2(8+l)}{2} \\ 13=8+l \\ Collect\text{ like terms} \\ 13-8=l \\ \therefore l=5inches \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the answer is
[tex]undefined[/tex]
