Question

Jenna is building a rectangular garden in her yard. The diagonal measures 6.5 feet, and the width is measures 2.5 feet. What is the perimeter of Jenna’s garden?

Answer 1

18

Explanation:

Note that a rectangle has 4 sides

It gives us the measure of the length and width

The formula for perimeter is P = 2l + 2w

(P meaning perimeter, l meaning length, w meaning width)

Multiply 6.5 and 2.5 by 2 and add the products together

(6.5 * 2) + (2.5 * 2)

13 + 5

18
