A rectangular blanket's perimeter is 210 inches. If the long sides of the blanket measure 60 inches, what is the length of the shorter sides of the blanket?

perimeter is going to be figured by using 2L + 2W
2(60) +2W = 210 120 +2W = 210 -120 -120
2W = 90 divde by 2 on both sides
W = 45
Length of the shorter sides are 45 inches.

The length of the shorter sides of the blanket is 45 inches. This is calculated using the perimeter formula for a rectangle: P = 2 L + 2 W . Using the given perimeter and length, we solve for the width, finding it to be 45 inches.
