Example Question #511 : Rectangles
Find the perimeter of the rectangle.
A rectangle has a length of 12cm and a width of 4cm. What is the perimeter of this rectangle.
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you must first understand that a rectangle's opposite sides are equal. Therefore if you know the length of one side it is the identical length of the opposite side.
32cm is your answer.
Example Question #512 : Rectangles
Find the perimeter of a rectangle.
A rectangle has a width of 7cm and a length of 10cm. What is the perimeter of the rectangle?
First you need to understand that opposite sides of a rectangle are equal. Then you are able to add the value of each side to itself and then add your sums together to get the perimeter of a rectangle.
Example Question #581 : Geometry
Use the following rectangle to answer the question:
Find the perimeter.
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, let's look at the rectangle.
We can see the length is 6in. Because it is a rectangle, the opposite side is also 6in.
We can also see the width of the rectangle is 3in. Because it is a rectangle, the opposite side is also 3in.
Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Example Question #581 : Plane Geometry
Use the following rectangle to solve the problem:
Find the perimeter.
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.
The width is 5in. Because it is a rectangle, the opposite side is also 5in.
So, we can substitute.
Example Question #582 : Geometry
What is the width of the rectangle if the perimeter is and the length is ?
The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is
To solve for the width we can plug our known values into the equation.
Subtract from both sides
Divide by both sides
Example Question #81 : Apply Area And Perimeter Formulas For Rectangles: Ccss.Math.Content.4.Md.A.3
What is the length of a room with a perimeter of and a width of
We have the perimeter and the width, so we can plug those values into our equation and solve for our unknown.
Subtract from both sides
Divide by both sides
Example Question #383 : Plane Geometry
Emily is digging a garden in her backyard that is meters long and meters wide. What is the perimeter of her garden?
The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is
To solve for the perimeter we can plug our known values into the equation.
Example Question #71 : Quadrilaterals
Angela has a garden that she wants to put a fence around. How much fencing will she need if her garden is by
The fence is going around the garden, so this is a perimeter problem.
Example Question #201 : Quadrilaterals
David wants to put a fence around a garden in his backyard. How much fencing will he need if his garden is by
The fence is going around the backyard, so this is a perimeter problem.
