Question

The top of Mrs. Vonvilla’s coffee table has the dimensions shown. She wants to put a bumper around the edges of the table to protect her child in case he falls. What is the perimeter of the tabletop?

A coffee table has a length of 48 inches and a width of 28 inches.

Use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, P = 2 l + 2 w, where P is the perimeter, l is the length, and w is the width.
76 in.
152 in.
304 in.

Answer 1

152 inches

Explanation:

P = 2 l + 2 w,

We know the length is 48 and width is 28

P = 2 *48 + 2 *28

P = 96+56

P =152

Answer 2

Given that,

→ Length is 48 inches.

→ Width is 28 inches.

We have to find,

The perimeter of the tabletop.

The formula we use,

→ P = 2(L) + 2(W)

Then find the perimeter of the tabletop,

→ 2(L) + 2(W)

→ (2 × 48) + (2 × 28)

→ 96 + 56

→ 152 inches

Thus, the perimeter is 152 inches.
