Question

A rectangle has sides of length 6 yards and 5 yards. What is the perimeter?

Answer 1

P = 2l + 2w
Am I right with the formula?
The P= 2(6)+2(5)
P=12+10
P=22 yards

Answer 2

Solutions

We know that a rectangle has four sides and the perimeter of a rectangle is the distance around the outside of the rectangle.The opposite sides of a rectangle are congruent To find the perimeter you have to use the formula 2 × (Side A + Side B).

We have the side lengths 6 yards and 5 yards.

Solve

2 × (Side A + Side B)
2 × ( Side A (6) + Side B (5) )
= (6 x 2) + (5 x 2)
= 22

The perimeter is 22 yards².
