A rectangular swimming pool measures 5 1/2 meters by 3 1/2 meters What
is the perimeter?

Answer 1

18 m

Explanation:

Perimeter is the sum of all the sides.

A rectangular pool has two sides at 5 1/2 m and two sides at 3 1/2 meters.

Add the whole numbers, then add the halves. Now ad the two parts together.

5 1/2 + 3 1/2 + 5 1/2 + 3 1/2 = 16 + 2 = 18 m
