Question

Tamika built a large play area in the shape of a rectangle. The length of one side was 8 meters, and the length of the other side was 14 meters.
Which number sentence shows the perimeter of the play area?

A) 8 + 14 = 22
B) 8 + 14 + 8 + 14 = 44
C) 8 × 14 × 8 × 14 = 12,544
D) 8 × 14 = 112

Answer 1

The answer is 112 because 8x14 is 112

Answer 2

The dimensions of the rectangle given are

length = 14 meters

Width = 8 meters

The perimeter of the rectangle is given by the sum of its sides

The rectangle has to opposite sides of 14 meters and two opposite sides of 8 meters

Hence adding up the 4 sides we get

$8+14+8+14 = 44$

Hence option B is the right answer
