Math Problem Statement

What is the perimeter of the rectangle with a height of 2 cm and a width of 3 cm?

Solution

The image shows a problem asking for the perimeter of a shape, which appears to be a rectangle divided into smaller squares. The dimensions given are 2 cm for the height and 3 cm for the width of the rectangle.

Step-by-Step Solution:

The perimeter PP of a rectangle is given by the formula: P=2×(length+width)P = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width})

In this case:

  • The length is 3cm3 \, \text{cm}.
  • The width is 2cm2 \, \text{cm}.

Thus, applying the values: P=2×(3+2)=2×5=10cmP = 2 \times (3 + 2) = 2 \times 5 = 10 \, \text{cm}

The perimeter of the rectangle is 10 cm.
