Question

A dance floor is in the shape of a rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

P= 74

Step-by-step explanation:

For a rectangle with width w and length L, the perimeter P is defined as P=2W+2L

W=16

L=21

P= 2 x 16 + 2 x 21 =

P=74

Answer 2

Answer:

The perimeter is 74 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition the perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the lengths of its 4 sides.

The formula for calculating the perimeter of a rectangle is as follows:

$P = 2w + 2L$

Where P is the perimeter, w is the width and L is the length.

In this case we want to find P and we know that:

$w =16\ meters$

$L =21\ meters$

Therefore:

$P = 2(16) + 2(21)$

$P = 74\ m$
