Question

If a rectangle is 12 meters with a width of 400 centimeters what is the perimeter

Answer 1

The answer is 32 meters or 2200 centimeters

Answer 2

Answer:

32 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The question gives measurements in different units. We need to make them the same.

Convert 400 centimeters into meters by dividing 400 by 100.

$\frac{400}{100} = 4$

400 centimeters is 4 meters.

Formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle:

$P=2 (L+W)$

4 meters is the width and 12 meters is the length.

$P = 2(12+4)\\P= 2 (16)\\P=32$

The perimeter of the rectangle should be 32 meters.
