Question

The local grocery store is being remodeled. The width of the floor is 51 feet and the length of the floor is 74 feet. What is the perimeter of the floor?

Answer 1

160

Explanation:

The perimeter contains for side. On one side, the width is 51. That means on the other side, the width must also be 51. 51 + 51 = 102. The length of one side is 74, so the length of the other side must also be 74. 74 + 74 = 148. Now, to get our final answer of the perimeter of the whole floor we must add the length and width of the floor. 148 + 102 = 160. Therefore, the perimeter of the floor is 160.
