what is the perimeter of an rectangle that has a 7 inches height and a 2 inches width.
I think it is 18 inches
You're right.
7 + 7 + 2 + 2 = 18 inches
thank you
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you need to add up the lengths of all its sides. In the case of a rectangle, opposite sides are equal in length.
Given that the height of the rectangle is 7 inches and the width is 2 inches, we can determine that the opposite sides are 7 inches long and the remaining opposite sides are 2 inches long.
To find the perimeter, we add up all the sides:
Perimeter = 7 + 2 + 7 + 2 = 18 inches.
So, your initial answer of 18 inches is correct. The perimeter of the rectangle is indeed 18 inches.
