Math Problem Statement

Perimeter of a 18.4 x 32.5 metre rectangle

Solution

The perimeter PP of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:

P=2×(length+width)P = 2 \times ( \text{length} + \text{width} )

For a rectangle with a length of 32.5 meters and a width of 18.4 meters:

P=2×(32.5+18.4)P = 2 \times (32.5 + 18.4) P=2×50.9P = 2 \times 50.9 P=101.8metersP = 101.8 \, \text{meters}

The perimeter of the rectangle is 101.8 meters.
