Answer: 72 inches

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, simply follow this equation:


L+L+W+W

Or alternatively,


2L+2W.\\

  • We know that the Length (L) is equal to 24 inches and the width (W) is 12 inches.

So just add it into the equation and solve!

- Option 1


24+24+12+12 = p\\48+24=p\\72=p

- Option 2


2(24)+2(12)=p\\48+24=p\\72=p

Either way you do it, the answer is 72 inches.

  • Hoped this helped!~
