Answer 1

Given:

A desk is shaped like a rectangle.

The length is l =2.6 feet,

The width is w = 1.3 feet.

Required:

We need to find the perimeter of the desk.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the perimeter of the rectangle formula.

`P=2(l+w)`

Substitute l=2.6 and w =1.3 in the formula.

`P=2(2.6+1.3)`
`P=2(3.9)`
`P=7.8\text{ feet.}`

Final answer:

The perimeter of the desk is 7.8 feet,
