Question

A rectangular piece of cheese is 9 centimeters long is 5 centimeters wide. What is the perimeter

Answer 1

Solution:

We know that:

• Perimeter of rectangle = 2L + 2B

Given:

• L = 9 cm
• W = 5 cm

Substitute the values into the expression to find the perimeter.

• Perimeter of rectangle = 2L + 2B
• => 2(9) + 2(5)
• => 18 + 10
• => 28 cm

Answer 2

Answer: 28cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter formula for a rectangle = 2(l + w); where:

length = 9cm

width = 5cm

P = 2(l + w)

= 2(9 + 5)

= 18 + 10

= 28cm

Therefore, the perimeter of the cheese is 28cm
