Question

The length of a rectangle is 3 meters and the width is 16 meters. What is the perimeter of the rectangle?

Answer 1

In order to determine the perimeter we use the perimeter formula which is:

2l + 2w

Plug in the numbers listed in the question.

2(3) + 2(16)

6 + 32 = 38

Thus, the perimeter of the rectangle is 38 meters.

Answer 2

The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to the following equation...

Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 x length + 2 x width

Side our length is 3 meters and width is 16 meters, we can use the equation.

Perimeter = 2 x 3 + 2 x 16 = 6 + 32 = 38 meters
