Question

Adonis created a rectangular play area for his dog in his backyard. The length of the long side was 10ft and the length of the short side was 5ft. What is the total perimeter of the dog's play area?

Answer 1

Answer:

The perimeter of the dog's play area is 30 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle:

• The opposite sides are congruent.
• The opposite angles are congruent.
• The sum of all four angles of a rectangle is 360°.
• The sum of two adjacent angles of a rectangle is 180°.
• The diagonals bisect each other.
• The perimeter of a rectangle is = 2(Length+width)
• The area of a rectangle is = Length × width

Given that,

The length of the long side of the dog's play area was = 10 ft.

So, Length of dog's play area is = 10 ft.

The length of the short side of the dog's play area was = 5 ft.

So, width of dog's play area is = 5 ft.

It is a rectangular plot.

So, the perimeter of the dog's play area is =2(Length+width)

                                                                      =2(10+5) ft

                                                                      =2(15) ft

                                                                      =30 ft
