Question

The perimeter of a rectangle, P, is given by P = 2L + 2W, where L is its length and W is its width. What is the perimeter of a rectangle of length 9 ft and width 13 ft?

Answer 1

Answer: 44 ft

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Length (L) = 9 ft
Width (W) = 13 ft
Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2W

Substitute values of ‘L’ and ‘W’ :-

= 2L + 2W
= 2(L + W)
= 2(9 + 13)
= 2(22)
= 2 * 22
=> 44

Hence, Perimeter (P) = 44 ft
