Question

Ramond is putting a fence around his rectangular garden shown above. Before he can build the fence, he needs to find the perimeter of the garden. If the garden is 4 meters long by 2 meters wide, what is the perimeter of the garden?

Answer 1

The gardens perimeter is 12 meters.

Explanation:

• The garden has a 4m length and a 2m width. The perimeter of any given rectangle is two times the sum of the length and the width of the same rectangle.

• Perimeter = 2 × (length of the rectange + width of the rectangle)

        Perimeter = 2 × (4m + 2m) = 2 × (6m) = 12 meters.

• So the gardens perimeter is equal to 12 meters.
• Ramond needs to buy a fence for a garden whose parameter is 12 meters.
