Calculate the perimeter of the Hoyt-Clagwell auto parts manufacturing plant. The plant is in the shape of a rectangle that measures 49.6 ft long by 37.7 ft wide. Would the formula be P= (2x 49.6 + 2 x 37.7) the answer 174.6 ft
Right.
Both the formula and answer are correct.
Good job!
That's a small auto parts manufacturing plant.
Yes, you are correct! The formula for calculating the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(Length + Width), where P represents the perimeter.
In this case, the length is given as 49.6 ft and the width is given as 37.7 ft. So, substituting these values into the formula, we have:
P = 2(49.6 + 37.7)
= 2(87.3)
= 174.6 ft
Therefore, the perimeter of the Hoyt-Clagwell auto parts manufacturing plant is indeed 174.6 ft. Well done in using the correct formula and calculations to find the answer!
