Question

A driveway is in the shape of a rectangle 3.7 meter wide by 4.2 meters long. What is it’s perimeter

Answer 1

15.8

Explanation:

since you're trying to figure out the perimeter of the rectangle you would use the formula 2L + 2W.

3.7 times 2 is 7.4

and 4.2 times 2 is 8.4

so, add 7.4 and 8.4

= 15.8

Answer 2

15.8m

Explanation:

Your perimeter is given by the sum of four sides of the rectangle:

Perimeter = 3.7m*2 + 4.2m*2 = 7.4m + 8.4m = 15.8m
