2 x (l + w)or 2l + 2w
The perimeter of a rectangle is found by the following formula: (Length x 2) + (Width x 2) or Length + Length + Width + Width.
(length) (times) (width) (times) (two) l x w x 2 = THE TOTAL PERIMETER OF THE SHAPE
s=side length P=perimeter P=4s
For a general rule for any object with four sides that have internal angles of 90 degrees just multiply the length by width.
area of parallelogram= base*height perimeter= 2(length+breadth)
Length times width.
Length x width
length times width
length x width= area ex if the length of the square was 10 and the width was 5, 10 x 5= 50units^2
P = 8s where s is the length of a side.
Area= Length x Width x Height
The length of the rectangular slab = LThe width of the rectangular slab = WThe formula for perimeter in terms of the length and width is 2L + 2W = 60The area =L*W = 224So L=224/WWe substitute that into the formula for perimeter and we haveP=2(224/w)+2w=60This can be simplified tow2-30w+224=0 so we can solve it and find w.Fortunately, it factors or else we would need to use the quadratic equation.(w-14)(w-16)=0. Now we use the zero product rule and we findthe solutions are 14 and 16. This means the rectangle is 14x16. We need to check the answer.We note that 14x16=224 so that is the desired area and 14x2+16x2=28+32=60 which is the desired perimeter.
