What is the perimeter of a rectangle if the width is 4 feet and the length is 3 times as long as the width
P = 2 (L + W)
in this case ... P = 2 [(3 * 4) + 4]
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add up all the sides.
Given that the width is 4 feet and the length is 3 times as long as the width, we can calculate the length by multiplying 4 feet by 3:
Length = 4 feet * 3 = 12 feet
Now we can calculate the perimeter using the formula:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
Perimeter = 2 * (12 feet + 4 feet)
Perimeter = 2 * (16 feet)
Perimeter = 32 feet
Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 32 feet.
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you need to add up all four sides of the rectangle. In this case, we know that the width is 4 feet.
First, let's find the length of the rectangle. We are told that the length is 3 times as long as the width. So, the length would be 4 feet multiplied by 3, which equals 12 feet.
Now, we can calculate the perimeter by adding up the four sides of the rectangle.
The two lengths of the rectangle would be 12 feet each, and the two widths would be 4 feet each.
Perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
Perimeter = 2 * (12 + 4)
Perimeter = 2 * (16)
Perimeter = 32 feet
Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 32 feet.
