The perimeter of the rectangle is calculated to be 32 ft

What is perimeter of a rectangle

The perimeter (P) of a rectangle is the total length of its boundary or the sum of the lengths of all its sides.

For a rectangle with sides of length (L) and (W), the formula for the perimeter is:

P = 2L + 2W = 2(L + W)

In the image,

L = 12 ft

W = 4 ft

P = 2 (1 2 + 4)

P = 2 (16)

P = 32 ft

The perimeter of the rectangle is 32 ft
