Question

A rectangle is 6 2/3 feet long and 3 1/5 wide.about how many feet is the distance around the rectangle

Answer 1

Hope this helps you!!!

Answer 2

The distance around the rectangle is:

`19(11)/(15)\ feet`

Explanation:

The distance around the rectangle means the perimeter of the rectangle.

We know that for a rectangle width length l and width w the perimeter(P) is given by:

`P=2(l+w)`

Here we have:

`l=6(2)/(3)\ feet=(20)/(3)\ feet`

Also, the width is:

`w=3(1)/(5)\ feet=(16)/(5)\ feet`

Hence, the perimeter of rectangle is:

`P=2((20)/(3)+(16)/(5))\\\\P=2((20* 5+16* 3)/(15))\\\\P=2((100+48)/(15))\\\\P=2* (148)/(15)\\\\P=(296)/(15)\\\\P=19(11)/(15)\ feet`
