2.26 Perimeter of a Rectangle

  • The perimeter of a rectangle is the distance around the outside of the rectangle.
  • A rectangle has four sides with opposite sides equal.
  • If l = length of the rectangle and w = width of the rectangle
    Perimeter = l + w + l + w = 2l + 2w = 2 (l + w)
    Perimeter = 2(l + w) units
Example: What is the perimeter of a rectangle with length 8 cm and width 5 cm?
Perimeter = 2(l+b)
Perimeter = 2(8+5)
Answer: 26 cm


Directions: Answer the following questions. Also write at least five examples of your own.
Q 1: _____ is the distance around a figure.
Perimeter
Volume
Area

Q 2: The formula for perimeter of a rectangle with length L and width W is given by
P = 2 + (L+W)
P = 2 x (LxW)
P = 2 x (L+W)

Q 3: P = 2 x (L+W) is same as
P = L + 2W
P = L + L + W + W
P = 2L + W

Q 4: What is the perimeter of a rectangle with length 8 cm and width 2 cm?
20 inches
20 cm
20 sq cm
