To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we will use the following formula:

Where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides of the rectangle.

Now, we know the length of the rectangle is 16in.  Because it is a rectangle, the opposite side is also 16in.

We know the width is half the length.  Therefore, the width is 8in. Because it is a rectangle, the opposite side is also 8in. 

Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula.  We get

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we will use the following formula:

Where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides of the rectangle.

Now, we know the width is 7cm.  Because it is a rectangle, the opposite side is also 7cm.

We know the length is two times the width.  Therefore, the length is 14cm.  Because it is a rectangle, the opposite side is also 14cm.

Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula.  We get

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we will use the following formula:

Where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides of the rectangle.

Now, given the rectangle

we can see the length is 11in.  Because it is a rectangle, the opposite side is also 11in.  

We can see the width is 5in.  Because it is a rectangle, the opposite side is also 5in.

Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula.  We get

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we will use the following formula:

Where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides of the rectangle.

Now, we know the length of the rectangle is 15in.  Because it is a rectangle, the opposite side is also 15in.

We know the width of the rectangle is a third of the length.  Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 5in.  Because it is a rectangle, the opposite side is also 5in.

So, we get

To find the perimeter of a shape, take all of the outside measurements and add them together.  There are only 2 measurements showing. However, perimeter goes all the way around the square which has four equal sides.  Therefore, the measurement of the other sides must be the same and must be used to find the perimeter.

Take all four sides and add them together to find the perimeter of the square.  Since each side is equally 5 inches then the total of the sides (or perimeter of the square) would be

The given area of the square was calculated by multiplying the measurement of one side of the square by the measurement of another side of the square (which are equal measurements).  Since the area was 100 cm then there was a number when multiplied to itself would be 100.  The number that makes this true is 10 as

It is now known that each side of the square has a length of 10 cm and to find the perimeter of the square the length of each side must be used to find the total length around the square.  Therefore, since each side is 10 cm then the perimeter can be found by adding all of the sides which would be

The perimeter of the square would be

This makes the correct answer

To find the perimeter of a shape, you must add up the lengths of the sides. By definition, a square has 4 equal sides. So, you only need to know the length of one side of a square in order to know the lengths of all the sides of a square.

Since the length of one side of this square is 12 cm., you can either add the lengths of the four sides together or multiply the length of one side by 4.

The units used in this answer would be cm. — not cm.² — because we are only find the length aroud the shape when solving for perimeter.

The area of a square is given by , or . Take the square root of both sides to get .

The perimeter of a square is given by . Substitute the value obtained from the area equation to get
