Question

if i have a rectangle with 4inches as it's height and 1 inch as it's length what would be the perimeter. also would the answer be in inches or inches squared?

Answer 1

Given:

a.) A rectangle with 4 inches as its height and 1 inch as its length.

To be able to find the perimeter, we will be using the following formula:

`\text{ Perimeter = 2L + 2H}`

Where,

L = Length

H = Height

We get,

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Perimeter = 2L + 2H} \\ \text{ = 2(1) + 2(4)} \\ \text{ = 2 + 8} \\ \text{ Perimeter = 10 inches} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 10 inches.
