Example Question #13 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Rectangle
If the perimeter of a rectangle is 
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 
Next, subtract 
Now, divide each side by 
This gives us
Example Question #65 : Rectangles
Give the perimeter of the above rectangle in centimeters, using the conversion factor 
The perimeter of the rectangle is 
Example Question #66 : Rectangles
Find the perimeter of a rectangle whose length is 6 and width is 5.
To solve, simply use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle.
In this particular case the length and width are,
Thus,
Example Question #12 : How To Find The Perimeter Of The Rectangle
A rectangle has a length of 9 centimeters and a width of 5 centimeters. Find the perimeter.
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is:
where
Example Question #2052 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement
The length of a rectangle is 1 cm more than 3 times the width. What is the perimeter of the rectangle if the width is 32 cm?
First find the length.
length or
The length is
Find the perimeter.
The perimeter is 
Example Question #232 : Geometry
Use the following to answer the question.
Find the perimeter of the rectangle if the width is half the length.
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we use the following formula:
where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides of the rectangle.
Now, in the rectangle
we can see the length is 12 feet. Because it is a rectangle, we know the opposite side is also 12 feet. We know the width is half of the length. So, the width is 6 feet. Because it is a rectangle, the opposite side is also 6 feet. Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Example Question #131 : Quadrilaterals
The Smartboard in your math classroom is 3 feet tall and 20 feet long. What is the perimeter of the Smartboard?
The Smartboard in your math classroom is 3 feet tall and 20 feet long. What is the perimeter of the Smartboard?
We need to find the perimeter of the rectangle that is the Smartboard.
To do so, we simply add up the sides. In this case, we have 2 3ft sides and 2 20 ft sides.
So our answer is 46
Example Question #232 : Plane Geometry
Find the distance around a rug if the rug is 2 feet wide and its length is 3 times the width.
Find the distance around a rectangular rug if the rug is 2 feet wide and its length is 3 times the width.
We are really being asked to find the perimeter. To do so, we first need to dimensions.
We are told the width is two feet.
The length is three times the width.
Now, use the following to find the perimeter:
So our answer is 16 feet
Example Question #231 : Plane Geometry
Refer to the above figures. The square at left has perimeter 160. Give the perimeter of the rectangle at right.
The perimeter of a square is four times the length of a side - here, this is 
The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its length and its width - here, this is 
The square has perimeter 160, so
The perimeter of the rectangle is 
Example Question #233 : Plane Geometry
A rectangular postage stamp has a width of 3 cm and a height of 12 cm. Find the perimeter of the stamp.
A rectangular postage stamp has a width of 3 cm and a height of 12 cm. Find the perimeter of the stamp.
To find the perimeter of a rectangle (or any shape) simply add up all the sides.
In this case, we have two sides that are 3 cm and two sides that are 12 cm.
Now, our answer must be in centimeters and not centimeters squared, because we are dealing with perimeter, which is a measure of length.
