Question

What is the perimeter of a rectangular yard that is 32 feet long and 45 feet wide?

168 feet
130 feet
136 feet
154 feet

Answer 1

Answer: 154 feet (choice D)

Work Shown:

L = 32 = length

W = 45 = width

P = perimeter of the rectangle

P = 2(L+W)

P = 2*(32+45)

P = 2*77

P = 154 feet

Side note: A slightly alternative formula is P = 2L+2W.

Answer 2

Answer: 154 feet

Explanation:

there are 2 widths and lenghts to be added so

32+32+45+45= 64+90

=154 feet
