Answer:

perimeter of a rectangle

Explanation:

Hello, I think I can help you with this.

this formula is used when calculating perimeter( Line or set of lines that form the outline of a surface or figure)of a rectangle

let´s see this example

if we have a rectangle with length(L)=10 m and width(W)=5 m,the perimeter will be

P=2L+2W

P=2(10 m)+2(5 m)

P=20 m+10m

P=30 m

I hope it helps, do not hesitate to ask me any questions about it, Have a great day.
