The given information is:

Length of the rectangle L=24 yd

Width of the rectangle W=12 yd.

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the following formula:


P=2L+2W

Replace the given values and solve for P:


\begin{gathered} P=2*24yd+2*12yd \\ P=48yd+24yd \\ P=72yd \end{gathered}

The answer is 72 yd.
