We know that 2+2 is 4.

34 - 4 is 30.

Therefore, the legnth, a, is half of thirty.

30/2 = 15

a = 15

Answer:

[tex]\bf a= 15\;\; millimetetrs[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter: 34 millimetetrs

perimeter= [tex]\tt a+2+a+2=34[/tex]

[tex]\tt 2a+4=34[/tex]

[tex]\tt 2a+4-4=34-4[/tex] (Subtract 4 from both sides)

[tex]\tt 2a=30[/tex] (Simplify)

[tex]\tt \cfrac{2a}{2}=\cfrac{30}{2}[/tex] (Divide both sides by 2)

[tex]\tt a=15[/tex]

Therefore, a= 15 millimetetrs.
