Answer: 72 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, simply follow this equation:
[tex]L+L+W+W[/tex]
Or alternatively,
[tex]2L+2W.\\[/tex]
- We know that the Length (L) is equal to 24 inches and the width (W) is 12 inches.
So just add it into the equation and solve!
- Option 1
[tex]24+24+12+12 = p\\48+24=p\\72=p[/tex]
- Option 2
[tex]2(24)+2(12)=p\\48+24=p\\72=p[/tex]
Either way you do it, the answer is 72 inches.
