a rectangle has a lenght of 3.5 meters and a width of 1.75 meters. what is the perimeter of the rectangle????? PLEASE HELP!!!!!
P = 2L + 2W
P = (2 * 3.5) + (2 * 1.75)
P = 7 + 3.5
P = ?
OHHHH now i see thanks
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you need to add up all the sides of the rectangle.
In this case, the rectangle has a length of 3.5 meters and a width of 1.75 meters.
To calculate the perimeter, you need to add together the length and width, and then multiply the sum by 2.
Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Width)
Given that the length is 3.5 meters and the width is 1.75 meters, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Perimeter = 2 × (3.5 + 1.75)
Now, let's calculate it:
Perimeter = 2 × 5.25
= 10.5 meters
Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 10.5 meters.
