Question

Find the value of the remaining variable in the formula. Use 3.14 as an approximation for a (pi).

P=2L+2W (perimeter of a rectangle); L = 4, W= 2
P =
Enter your answer in the answer box.

Answer 1

P = 12

Explanation:

Given formula for the perimeter 'P' of a rectangle is,

P = 2L + 2W

If the values of L and W are,

L = 4 and W = 2

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(L + W)

= 2(4 + 2)

= 2 × 6

= 12 units

Therefore, value of remaining variable 'Perimeter' = 12 units

(There is no use of 'pi' in calculating the perimeter of a rectangle).
