Example Question #471 : Quadrilaterals

Find the perimeter of a rectangle whose width is 6 and length is 8.

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 7

\displaystyle 28

\displaystyle 14

\displaystyle 48

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 28

Explanation:

To solve, simply use the following formula for perimeter. Thus,

\displaystyle P=2(w+l)=2(6+8)=2*14=28

Example Question #33 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Rectangle

You just bought a dog and need to set up a fence around your yard.  If your yard is \displaystyle 8ft by \displaystyle 6ft, how much fence do you need?

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 48ft

\displaystyle 30ft

\displaystyle 28ft

\displaystyle 20ft

\displaystyle 14ft

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 28ft

Explanation:

The surround the yard you need to find the perimeter of the yard.  

Perimeter is \displaystyle 2\ast length + 2\ast width.  

In this case, it is \displaystyle (8*2)+(6*2)=28.
