Question

Work out the perimeter of a rectangle with length 8.5cm and width 0.2cm.

Answer 1

17.4 cm

Explanation:

A rectangle has two sets of parallel, equal sides. So that means two of the sides are equal to 8.5cm and the other two sides are equal to 0.2cm. When you put that in an equation:

8.5 + 8.5 + 0.2 + 0.2 = 17.4

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer: 17.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation: All you have to do is add all of the sides together.

So 8.5+8.5+0.2+0.2

=17+0.4

=17.4 cm
