A rectangle is 4 meters wide and 14 meters long. What is the perimeter of the rectangle?
36 meters
72 meters
18 meters
56 meters

Answer 1

36 meters

Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle can be found using:

1. p=l+l+w+w

or

2. p=2l+2w

The rectangle has a width of 4 meters and a length of 14 meters. Substitute 4 in for w and 14 in for l.

1. p=l+l+w+w

p=14+14+4+4

Add all the numbers together

p=28+8

p=36

2. p=2l+2w

p=2(14)+2(4)

Multiply 2 and 14

p=28+2(4)

Multiply 2 and 4

p=28+8

Add 28 and 8

p=36

The perimeter of the rectangle is 36 meters

Answer 2

I think it’s 18 meters
