Question

a rectangle measures 3 yards by 4 feet. what is the perimeter of the rectangle in inches show your work

Answer 1

For this question you will need to do conversions.

Remember that 1 yard = 36in so

`3 * 36 = 108`

And for ever 1 foot, there is 12in (look on a measuring tape if you have one). So for this you do

`12 * 4 = 48`

Now add the perimeter:


`P=2(l+w)`

`2(108+48)`

`2(156) = 312`

So the perimeter of this rectangle is 312in.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

3 yards=9 feet
Perimeter= length * width
4 feet*9 feet= 36 feet
