Answer 2

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation: the length is 8 cm so, times that by 2 because there are 2 lengths which makes it 16cm. Now you subtract 16 from the 28cm which is 12cm divide this by 2 because there are two widths this equals 6 cm

Therefore; our width is 6 cm

To check if this is right you can add all the values= 8+8+6+6= 28cm
