Question

Ms. Pendleton's bedroom is a shape of a rectangle. The width of the room is 16 feet and length is four more feet than the width. Find the perimeter of Ms. Pendleton's room.

Answer 1

Answer: The perimeter of Ms. Pendleton's room is 72 feet.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to calculate the length of the bedroom:

• The width of the room is 16 feet⇒ w =16

• Length is four more feet than the width⇒ L =w+4 = 16+4 =20

Next, we have to apply the perimeter formula for a rectangle:

Perimeter (P) = 2 w + 2 L

Replacing with the values given:

P = 2 (16)+ 2 (20) = 32+40=72 feet
