Find the perimeter of a rectangle that has a length of 24 feet and a width of 16 feet. Use the formula
P=2L +2w
What don't you understand about this problem?
It is confusing to me. I don't understand how to use the formula
Substitute 24 for L and 16 for W.
Another way of stating that formula is
P = 2 times the length plus the width.

Is the answer 80
Yes. The perimeter is 80 feet.
Thank u
You're welcome.
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you can use the formula P=2L + 2W, where P represents the perimeter, L represents the length, and W represents the width.
In this case, the length of the rectangle is given as 24 feet and the width is given as 16 feet.
Substituting these values into the formula, we have:
P = 2(24) + 2(16)
Now, we can simplify the expression:
P = 48 + 32
P = 80
Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 80 feet.
