Solution

To calculate the perimeter of a rectangle, you use the formula:

Perimeter=2×(Length+Width)\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (\text{Length} + \text{Width})

Given:

  • Length = 21 meters
  • Width = 11 meters

Now, plug the values into the formula:

Perimeter=2×(21+11)=2×32=64 meters\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (21 + 11) = 2 \times 32 = 64 \text{ meters}

So, the correct answer is 64 m.
