Question

You have a rectangular sand box whose length is 4 more than its width. If the width is

12 feet, what is the perimeter of the sandbox?
O 192 ft
O 56 ft
a
O 28 ft
O It is not possible to find the Perimeter with the given information

Answer 1

(b) 56 ft

Explanation:

The length is 4 more feet than the width of 12 feet, so is 12+4 = 16 feet.

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of length and width:

P = 2(L +W)

P = 2(16 ft +12 ft) = 2(28 ft)

P = 56 ft

The perimeter of the sandbox is 56 feet.
