A rectangle has sides of length 6 yards and 5 yards. What is the perimeter?

P = 2l + 2w

Am I right with the formula?

The P = 2 (6) + 2 (5)

P=12+10

P=22 yards

Solutions

We know that a rectangle has four sides and the perimeter of a rectangle is the distance around the outside of the rectangle. The opposite sides of a rectangle are congruent To find the perimeter you have to use the formula 2 * (Side A + Side B).

We have the side lengths 6 yards and 5 yards.

Solve

2 * (Side A + Side B)

2 * (Side A (6) + Side B (5))

= (6 x 2) + (5 x 2)

= 22

The perimeter is 22 yards².
