Question

a rectangle measures 3 yards by 4 feet. what is the perimeter of the rectangle in inches show your work

Answer 1

3 yards=9 feet
Perimeter= length * width
4 feet*9 feet= 36 feet

Answer 2

For this question you will need to do conversions.

Remember that 1 yard = 36in so
$3 \times 36 = 108$

And for ever 1 foot, there is 12in (look on a measuring tape if you have one). So for this you do
$12 \times 4 = 48$

Now add the perimeter:

$P=2(l+w)$
$2(108+48)$
$2(156) = 312$

So the perimeter of this rectangle is 312in.

Hope this helps!
