A rectangle is 1.7 inches wide by 1.2 inches long. Then its perimeter is 5.8 inches
Solution:
We have been given a Rectangle whose length is L = 1.2 inches and breadth is B = 1.7 inches
The perimeter of the rectangle is given as:
[tex]\text { Perimeter }=\mathrm{P}=2 \times(\mathrm{L}+\mathrm{B})[/tex]
Where P means the perimeter
L, B are the lengths and breadth of the rectangle respectively
By substituting the values we get,
[tex]\begin{array}{l}{P=2 \times(1.2+1.7)} \\\\ {P=2 \times(2.9)} \\\\ {P=5.8 \text { inches }}\end{array}[/tex]
So, the Perimeter of the rectangle is 5.8 inches
