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