Question

7/8 3/8 Find the perimeter of the rectangle pictured above.

Answer 1

The perimter of a rectangle is calculated as,

$P=\frac{1}{2}(l+w)_{}$

Here,

$\begin{gathered} l=\frac{7}{8} \\ w=\frac{3}{8} \end{gathered}$

So, we have,

$P=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{7}{8}+\frac{3}{8})=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{10}{8})=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{5}{4})=\frac{5}{8}_{}$
