Choose the three rectangles that have a perimeter of 18 centimeters
**Educational Content for Website: Rectangle Perimeters**

---

**Task:** Choose the three rectangles that have a perimeter of 18 centimeters.

**Rectangles:**

**A.**
- Width: 2 cm
- Height: 9 cm

**B.**
- Width: 6 cm
- Height: 3 cm 

**C.**
- Width: 5 cm
- Height: 4 cm  

**D.**
- Width: 10 cm
- Height: 8 cm  

**E.**
- Width: 2 cm
- Height: 7 cm  

---

**Analysis:**

1. **Rectangle A:**
   - Perimeter Calculation: 
     \[
     \text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (\text{Width} + \text{Height}) = 2 \times (2\, \text{cm} + 9\, \text{cm}) = 2 \times 11\, \text{cm} = 22\, \text{cm}
     \]

2. **Rectangle B:**
   - Perimeter Calculation: 
     \[
     \text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (\text{Width} + \text{Height}) = 2 \times (6\, \text{cm} + 3\, \text{cm}) = 2 \times 9\, \text{cm} = 18\, \text{cm}
     \]

3. **Rectangle C:**
   - Perimeter Calculation: 
     \[
     \text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (\text{Width} + \text{Height}) = 2 \times (5\, \text{cm} + 4\, \text{cm}) = 2 \times 9\, \text{cm} = 18\, \text{cm}
     \]

4. **Rectangle D:**
   - Perimeter Calculation: 
     \[
     \text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (\text{Width} + \text{Height}) = 2 \times (10\, \text{cm} + 8\, \text{cm}) = 2 \times 18\, \text{cm} = 36\, \text{cm}
     \]

5. **Rectangle E:**
   - Perimeter Calculation: 
     \[
     \text{Perimeter} =
