The perimeter of a rectangle is the total length of all the sides of the rectangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a rectangle is the total length of all the sides of the rectangle. We can find the perimeter by adding all four sides of a rectangle. Since opposite sides of a rectangle are always equal, we need to find the dimensions of only two sides to find the perimeter of a rectangle.
If you have a 2 inches by 4 inches rectangle, you would have 2 inches + 4 inches + 2 inches + 4 inches = 12 inches
