Question

The formula P=2/ + 2 w can be used to find the perimeter of a rectangle with length, /, and width, w. What is the perimeter of a rectangle that has a length of 6 inches and a width of 3.5 inches?A) 19 inchesB) 9.5 inches C) 21 inches D) 14 inches

Answer 1

The perimeter of a rectangle is 19 inches

Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is given as

Perimeter = 2l + 2w

where l = length of rectangle and w = width of rectangle

Perimeter = 2l + 2w

l = 6 inches

w = 3.5 inches

Perimeter = 2(6) + 2(3.5)

Perimeter = 12 + 7

Perimeter = 19 inches

Hence, the perimeter of a rectangle is 19 inches
