Example Question #53 : Perimeter

Find the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 7cm and a width that is half the length.

Possible Answers:

$24.5\text{cm}$ $\displaystyle 24.5\text{cm}$

$21\text{cm}$ $\displaystyle 21\text{cm}$

$10.5\text{cm}$ $\displaystyle 10.5\text{cm}$

$24.5\text{cm}^2$ $\displaystyle 24.5\text{cm}^2$

$21\text{cm}^2$ $\displaystyle 21\text{cm}^2$

Correct answer:

$21\text{cm}$ $\displaystyle 21\text{cm}$

Explanation:

The formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is

$\displaystyle P = a + b + c + d$

where a, b, c and d are the sides of the rectangle. We know the length is 7cm and the width is half the length. So, the width is 3.5cm. So, we can substitute and get

$P = 7\text{cm} + 7\text{cm} + 3.5\text{cm} + 3.5\text{cm}$ $\displaystyle P = 7\text{cm} + 7\text{cm} + 3.5\text{cm} + 3.5\text{cm}$

$P = 21\text{cm}$ $\displaystyle P = 21\text{cm}$

Note that when we add, we do not combine the labels, we only combine the numbers.

Example Question #35 : Perimeter Of A Rectangle Or Square

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with width of 4 meters and length that is triple its width?

Possible Answers:

32m $\displaystyle 32m$

48m $\displaystyle 48m$

12m $\displaystyle 12m$

16m $\displaystyle 16m$

Correct answer:

32m $\displaystyle 32m$

Explanation:

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with width of 4 meters and length that is triple its width?

First, let's find the dimensions of our rectangle.

Width is easy, it is given to us as 4 meters.

Length is a little trickier, it is triple the width:

$\displaystyle 4*3=12 meters$

Next, we need to recognize that perimeter is the distance around the outside of our shape.

Because we have a rectangle, we know that we have two 12 meter sides and two 4 meter sides.

So we do the following to get our answer:

$\displaystyle 12+12+4+4=32m$
