Question

The length of a rectangle is 26 inches and the width is 58 inches. What is the perimeter? Please show work.

Answer 1

168 inches

set up equations

the perimeter of a rectangle = 2W + 2L

p = 2W + 2L

values

length = L = 26 inches

width = W = 58 inches

plug in values

p = 2W + 2L

p = 2 * 58 + 2 * 26

p = 52 + 116

p = 168 inches
