Find the perimeter of a rectangular area with a length of 13 inches and

a width of 7 inches using distributive property and not using it.

P=2(L+W)

P=2(13+7)
P= 40

What does L+W mean

length of 13 inches and

a width of 7 inches

Now what do suppose L and W are?

AKIRRA showed you one way.

Also -
P = 2L + 2W
P = 2(13) + 2(7)
P = 26 + 14
P = ?
