Question

A garden has a width 13 and length 7 13 what is the perimeter

Answer 1

The correct answer is:
`16\sqrt13` units (Option D)

Step-by-step explanation:

A garden is usually rectangular in shape; therefore, you need to have the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle to find the perimeter of the garden.

The perimeter of rectangle = P = 2*(L+W) --- (A)

Where L = Length of a garden =
`7\sqrt13`

W = Width of the garden =
`\sqrt13`

Plug the values in equation (A) and simplify:

`P = 2*(L+W) \\ P = 2*(7\sqrt13 + \sqrt13) \\ P = 2 * (\sqrt13 * (7+1)) \\ P = 2 * (8 * \sqrt13) \\ P = 16\sqrt13`

Hence, the perimeter of the garden is
`16\sqrt13` units (Option D)
