The perimeter of a rectangle is length + width x 2 = perimeter.

* * * * *

That is misleading since that would be evaluated as L + W2 or L + 2W.

The perimeter of any polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides. A rectangle has two sides of the same length (L) and the other two of the same width (W). So the perimeter is 2*L + 2*W or 2*(L + W).
