Question

A rectangular garden has a length of 24 m and width of 17.2 m. Use the correct number of significant digits to write the perimeter of the garden.

Answer 1

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length+width) units.
So, the perimeter of the rectangular garden = 2(24+17.2) m = (2×41.2) m = 82.4 m.

Answer 2

The perimeter of the garden is 82.4 meters.

Explanation:

A rectangular garden has a length of 24 m and width of 17.2 m.

We have to find the perimeter of the garden.

Perimeter of rectangle is given as : 2W+2L =
`2(W+L)`

Perimeter = 2(17.2+24)

=
`2(41.2)` = 82.4 m

Hence, the perimeter of the garden is 82.4 meters.
