Find the perimeter of a rectangular area with a length of 13 inches and a width of 7 inches.
with distribution and without distribution
PLZ HEELP NEED HELP FAST!!
2(13+7) = 2(20) = 2*13 + 2*7 = 13 + 13 + 7 + 7 = 40
To find the perimeter of a rectangular area, you need to add up the lengths of all the sides of the rectangle. In this case, the length is given as 13 inches and the width is given as 7 inches.
Without distribution:
The rectangle has two pairs of equal sides (opposite sides). So, to find the perimeter, we can simply add the lengths of the two lengths and two widths of the rectangle.
Perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
= 2 * (13 + 7)
= 2 * 20
= 40 inches
With distribution:
If you want to break down the calculation further, you can distribute the multiplication by 2 to both the length and width individually, and then add them.
Perimeter = (2 * length) + (2 * width)
= (2 * 13) + (2 * 7)
= 26 + 14
= 40 inches
So, regardless of whether you distribute the multiplication or not, the perimeter of the rectangular area is 40 inches.
