The floor of a rectangular meeting area was waxed and everyone needs to stay out. The length of the area is 5 meters. The width of the area is 9 meters. Which is the correct unit of measurement to use when figuring how much tape is needed to surround the waxed area?

Since it is perimeter, it is just meters, instead of being squared or cubed like with area and volume.
