Question 2 of 7
A rectangle is shown with one longer side labeled 12 cm and one shorter side labeled 10 cm
What is the perimeter of the rectangle?
A.22 cm
B.44 cm
C.120 cm
D.144 cm
The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of all its sides. In this case, we have two longer sides of 12 cm each and two shorter sides of 10 cm each. Therefore, the perimeter of this rectangle can be calculated as:
P = 2(12 cm) + 2(10 cm)
P = 24 cm + 20 cm
P = 44 cm
Hence, the correct answer is (B) 44 cm.
