Question

2. A rectangular piece of metal is 10 inches wide and 14 inches long.

a. What is the perimeter?
​

Answer 1

The perimeter is 48 inches.

Explanation:

Since the shape is a rectangle, each opposite side is equal. So the side that is opposite the 10 inch side is also 10 inches. The same can be said for the 14 in side.

Add all of the sides together:

10+10+14+14=48

So, the answer is 48 inches.

Hope this helps!
