a rectangle has a length of 5 yards and a width of 3 yards. what is its perimeter? explain your answer.
To get the answer you have to add all the sides so a rectangle has two different equal sides.so you add 5+3+5+3=16.that is you answer.
16 yards. 5 x 2 = 10 3 x 2 = 6
6 + 10 = 16
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you need to add up the lengths of all four sides. In this case, the rectangle has a length of 5 yards and a width of 3 yards.
To find the perimeter, add the lengths of the two pairs of opposite sides:
Perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
Plugging in the values for this rectangle:
Perimeter = 2 * (5 + 3)
Perimeter = 2 * 8
Perimeter = 16 yards
So, the perimeter of the rectangle is 16 yards.
