i do not know this answer

We know that 2+2 is 4.
34 - 4 is 30.
Therefore, the legnth, a, is half of thirty.
30/2 = 15
a = 15
[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.
