Question

Find the perimeter of a rectangle with the following dimensions 25ft by 27ft

Answer 1

The perimeter of an image is given by the sum of all side lengths of the image.

Since a rectangle has four sides and the opposite sides are congruent, its perimeter is given by two times its length plus two times its width.

If the dimensions of a rectangle are 25 ft and 27 ft, its perimeter is given by:

$\begin{gathered} P=2l+2w \\ P=2\cdot25+2\cdot27 \\ P=50+54 \\ P=104\text{ ft} \end{gathered}$

Therefore the perimeter of this rectangle is equal to 104 feet.
