Question

What will you use if you are looking for the space bounded by a rectangle A. 2(I + w) B. S² C. B × h ________ 2 D. I × w

Answer 1

A. 2(I + w)

Explanation:

The space bounded by a rectangle is its perimeter. So, I would use 2(l + w) where l = length of rectangle and w = width of rectangle.

As an example, suppose we have a rectangle of length, l = 40 meters and width, w = 20 meters and seek to find its perimeter that is, the space bounded by the rectangle, we substitute the values of l and w into the equation for the perimeter.

So, P = 2(l + w)

substituting the values of l and w into the equation, we have

P = 2(l + w)

P = 2(40 m + 20 m)

P = 2(60 m)

P = 120 m

So the space bounded by the rectangle is 120 m.

So, to find the space bounded by a rectangle, we use 2(l + w).

So, the answer is A.
