Math Problem Statement

What is the perimeter of a 9 x 18 meter yard

Solution

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:

P=2(l+w)P = 2(l + w)

where:

  • l=18l = 18 meters (length)
  • w=9w = 9 meters (width)

Substituting the values:

P=2(18+9)=2(27)=54 metersP = 2(18 + 9) = 2(27) = 54 \text{ meters}

So, the perimeter of the yard is 54 meters.
