What is the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 4 2/3 inches and a width of 3 1/3 inches
P = 2L + 2W
P = 2(4 2/3) + 2(3 1/3)
P = ?
A perimeter is the area around the rectangle. Since one side is the same as the other, you would add the length and width together, then multiply by 2.
4 2/3 + 3 1/3 = 8 inches
8 X 2 = 16 inches.
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add up the lengths of all its sides.
First, let's convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions:
Length: 4 2/3 inches is equivalent to (4 * 3 + 2)/3 = 14/3 inches.
Width: 3 1/3 inches is equivalent to (3 * 3 + 1)/3 = 10/3 inches.
The perimeter is then calculated by adding up all four sides:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
= 2 * (14/3 + 10/3)
= 2 * (24/3)
= 2 * 8
= 16 inches.
Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 16 inches.
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you need to add up the lengths of all four sides. In this case, we have a rectangle with a length of 4 2/3 inches and a width of 3 1/3 inches.
To begin, we need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
To convert 4 2/3 to an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number (4) by the denominator of the fraction (3) and then add the numerator (2). This gives us (4 * 3) + 2 = 14/3.
To convert 3 1/3 to an improper fraction, we follow the same process. Multiplying the whole number (3) by the denominator of the fraction (3) and then adding the numerator (1) gives us (3 * 3) + 1 = 10/3.
Now that we have the length and width of the rectangle in improper fractions, we can calculate the perimeter.
The perimeter is calculated by adding twice the length and twice the width of the rectangle.
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
Substituting the length and width of the rectangle, we get:
Perimeter = 2 * (14/3 + 10/3)
Simplifying the fractions within the parentheses, we have:
Perimeter = 2 * (24/3)
Multiplying 2 by 24/3, we get:
Perimeter = 48/3
To simplify the fraction, we divide the numerator (48) by the denominator (3), resulting in:
Perimeter = 16.
Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 16 inches.
