The perimeter of the window of the camper shell is 130 in. Find the length of one of the shorter sides of the window.
in

You can't deduce the length of a side from the perimeters of a rectangle.
Say that [tex]s[/tex] and [tex]S[/tex] are, respectively, the short and long side of the rectangle.
So, we know that
[tex]2s+2S=130 \iff 2(s+S)=130 \iff s+S=65[/tex]
But we can't solve exactly for [tex]s[/tex] nor for [tex]S[/tex], unless more information is given.
