Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows a rectangle on a grid where the task is to calculate the perimeter. The grid scale indicates that each square represents 1 cm.
Step-by-step solution:
-
Length of the rectangle: By counting the squares along the longer side (horizontal), the rectangle spans 5 squares. Since the scale is in centimeters, the length is 5 cm.
-
Width of the rectangle: By counting the squares along the shorter side (vertical), the rectangle spans 2 squares. This means the width is 2 cm.
-
Perimeter formula: The perimeter of a rectangle is given by: Substituting the values:
Thus, the perimeter of the rectangle is 14 cm.
