Question

Mia,s garden is in the shape of a rectangle that measure about 24 meters long and 15 meters wide what is the distance around Mia,s garden

Answer 1

24+24+15+15=  the perimeter, aka 48+30 aka 78 meters

Answer 2

The distance around Mia,s garden is 78 meters,

Explanation:

The distance around Mia,s garden is the perimeter of the garden.

The perimeter can be defined as the continuous line forming the boundary of a geometrical figure, in this case a rectangle.

To calculate the perimeter of a rectangle you have to add the lenght of the four sides. This question gives us long and wide, and knowing that on a rectangle two sides are each equal to the long and the other two sides are equal to the width, you calculate the perimeter as follows:

`Perimeter=(24*2)+(15*2)\\Perimeter=(48)+(30)\\Perimeter=78`
