Question

A rectangle has a length of 5 yards and e width if 3 yards what is the perimeter explain your answer

Answer 1

Since the question is asking for the perimeter, you have to find the length of the sides of the rectangle.

If one of the sides has a length of 5 yards, then the side parallel to that side also has a length of 5 yards.

So you have to multiply 5 with 2

5×2=10

If the other side has a length of 3 yards, then the side parallel to that side also a length of 3 yards

So you have to multiply 3 with 2

3×2=6

Then you add the two answers

10+6=16

So you get 16 yards


Hope this helps!
