Perimeter of the rectangle = PQ + QR + RS + SP
= b +l + b + l
= 2b +2l
Again,
ABCD is a rectangle. We know that the opposite sides of a rectangle are equal.
Perimeter of a Rectangle
AB = CD = 5 cm and BC = AD = 3 cm
So
, the perimeter of the rectangle ABCD = AB + BC + CD + AD = 5 cm + 3 cm + 5 cm + 3 cm = 16 cm
It can be written as 5 cm + 5 cm + 3 cm + 3 cm
= (2 × 5) cm + (2 × 3) cm
= 2 (5 + 3) cm
= 2 × 8 cm
= 16 cm
, the perimeter of the rectangle ABCD = AB + BC + CD + AD = 5 cm + 3 cm + 5 cm + 3 cm = 16 cm
It can be written as 5 cm + 5 cm + 3 cm + 3 cm
= (2 × 5) cm + (2 × 3) cm
= 2 (5 + 3) cm
= 2 × 8 cm
= 16 cm
We add length and breadth twice to find the perimeter of a rectangle.
