Question

A rectangle that measures 1 foot by 5 feet.

What is the perimeter of the rectangle?

5 feet
6 feet
12 feet
36 feet

Answer 1

C. 12 feet

Explanation:

If a rectangle measures 1 foot by 5 feet, that means that one side is 1 foot and one side is 5 feet. Since a rectangle has two sets of parallel sides, the other sides of the rectangle will also measure 1 foot by 5 feet.

Adding all of the side lengths will give us the perimeter.

1 + 5 + 1 + 5 = 12

hope this helps :)
