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?
How long are the longer sides? ** The longer sides are 2 in number so their total length of 2*28cm = <<2*28=56>>56cm
How long are the shorter sides? ** The rest of the length making up the short sides is 100-56 = <<100-56=44>>44 cm
How long are the shorter sides? ** There are two equal short sides so each one is 44/2 = <<44/2=22>>22cm
