Question

Find the perimeter of the rectangle. Be sure to write the correct unit in your answer. 12 yd 24 yd

Answer 1

The given information is:

Length of the rectangle L=24 yd

Width of the rectangle W=12 yd.

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the following formula:

`P=2L+2W`

Replace the given values and solve for P:

`\begin{gathered} P=2*24yd+2*12yd \\ P=48yd+24yd \\ P=72yd \end{gathered}`

The answer is 72 yd.
