Add all the sides up.. the perimeter would be?
12+12+24+24 or (12*2) + (24*2)=72

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some math now? Alright, so if the pool is 12 feet wide and 24 feet long, you just add up all the sides to get the perimeter, which is like the circumference for a rectangle. So, it's 12 + 12 + 24 + 24, which equals 72 feet. There you go, the circumference of a 12 x 24 foot pool is 72 feet.
You can't tell the perimeter from the area.Here are a few different rectangles and their perimeters.All of them enclose 12 square feet.1/2 x 24 .. . perimeter = 491 x 12 . . . . perimeter = 261.5 x 8 .. . . perimeter = 192 x 6 . . . . . perimeter = 162.4 x 5 .. . . perimeter = 14.83 x 4 . . . . . perimeter = 143.464 x 3.464 . . perimeter = 13.856
A 12' x 24' x 52' pool can hold up to about 112,028 gallons of water.
The perimeter is the distance around, the sum of the sides. A 5 x 7 or a 4 x 8 rectangle has a perimeter of 24.
Let the dimensions be x and y:- Perimeter: 2(x+y) = 24 => x+y = 12 => y = 12-x Area: xy = 32 => x(12-x) = 32 => 12x-x2-32 = 0 Solving the above quadratic equation gives x = 4 and x = 8 Therfore the dimensions of the rectangle are 4 units by 8 units Check: 2(4+8) = 24 units and 4*8 = 32 square units
