___________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
__________________________________________________
P = 2L + 2W ;

in which "P" = perimeter ;
"L" = length = 6.2 m (given) ;
"W" = width = 4.4 m (given) ;
_________________________________________________
Plug in our given values to solve for the perimeter, "P" :
_________________________________________________
P = 2(6.2 m) + 2(4.4 m) = 12.4 m + 8.8 m = 21.2 m .
_________________________________________________
OR; " P = 6.2 m + 6.2 m + 4.4 m + 4.4 m = 21.2 m .
