Example Question #3 : How To Find The Perimeter Of The Rectangle
How many meters of fence are needed to enclose a rectangular field that has a length of 1000 meters and a width of 100 meters?
The perimeter of a rectangle is simply the sum of the four sides:
Example Question #31 : Quadrilaterals
The perimeter of a rectangle with a length of and a width of is . Find .
We know that:
where:
So we can write:
Example Question #2044 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement
Note: Figure NOT drawn to scale.
Refer to the above diagram. Give the perimeter of the red polygon.
The perimeter cannot be determined from the information given.
Since opposite sides of a rectangle have the same measure, the missing sidelengths can be calculated as in the diagram below:
The sidelengths of the red polygon can now be added to find the perimeter:
Example Question #301 : Ssat Middle Level Quantitative (Math)
The width of a rectangle is , the length is , and the perimeter is 72. What is the value of ?
Start with the equation for the perimeter of a rectangle:
We know the perimeter is 72, the length is , and the width is . Plug these values into our equation.
Multiply and combine like terms.
Divide by 18 to isolate the variable.
Simplify the fraction by removing the common factor.
Example Question #121 : Geometry
Note: Figure NOT drawn to scale.
Refer to the above diagram. Give the ratio of the perimeter of the large rectangle to that of the smaller rectangle.
The correct answer is not given among the other choices.
Opposite sides of a rectangle are congruent.
The large rectangle has perimeter
.
The smaller rectangle has perimeter
.
The ratio is
; that is, 12 to 5.

Example Question #123 : Geometry
If the perimeter of a rectangle is inches and the width is inches, what is the length?
The perimeter of a rectangle is represented by the following formula, in which W represents width and L represents length:
Given that the width is inches and that the perimeter is inches, the following applies:
Next, subtract from each side.
Now, divide each side by .
This gives us
Example Question #83 : Plane Geometry
Give the perimeter of the above rectangle in centimeters, using the conversion factor centimeters per yard.
The perimeter of the rectangle is yards. To convert this to centimeters, multiply by the given conversion factor:
centimeters.
Example Question #221 : Geometry
