It is given that:
Tom wants to put up Christmas lights around his house.
His house is a rectangle that is 35m long and 15m wide.
To find the how many meters of lights will Tom need to go all around his house.

The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + width)
Length = 35 m
Width = 15 m
The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(35 + 15)
The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(50)
The perimeter of the rectangle = 100
